Georgia Department of Transportation construction partners have opened all lanes of I-85 in both directions between Hamilton Mill Road in Gwinnett and Ga. 211 in Barrow counties.

Roadway improvements have been completed in this area as part of the I-85 widening project. Work will continue in both directions between Ga. 211 and Ga. 53 in Jackson county. The I-85 widening project is the first Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) project to break ground.

Drivers are asked to obey posted speed limits and traffic control measures inside the construction zone. Additional information about the I-85 Widening project can be found at www.tinyurl.com/I85Widening.
