Opening of new Ga. 324 lanes postponed

April 27, 2012

The opening of four lanes on Ga. 324 over I-85 in Buford has been postponed.

The lanes were supposed to open Monday, but earthwork in the median and along the shoulder of the road must still be completed, according to the state Department of Transportation. A new date for opening the lanes has not been scheduled.

The department is widening a one-mile section of Ga. 324 to four lanes and building a wider bridge over the interstate.
