The Georgia Department of Transportation announced on Apr. 10 that upcoming construction work for the 16@95 Improvement Projects will require intermittent lane and ramp closures on I-16, I-95, and I-516 between April 12 and May 2. The scheduled closures are necessary to allow widening activities on I-16, bridge work at the I-16/I-95 Interchange, and related improvements.
These projects are expected to impact traffic flow in both directions during daytime and nighttime hours. Motorists traveling through these corridors should expect intermittent right- and left-lane closures as well as double-lane overnight closures at specific overpasses. Detours will be coordinated so that no more than one ramp is closed at a time within each interchange area, ensuring proper maintenance of traffic throughout the project period.
Advance notice has been provided for detour routes affecting ramps such as I-16 eastbound to I-516 eastbound (Exit 164), I-516 eastbound to I-16 eastbound (Exit 5), various connections between I-95 northbound or southbound with both directions of I-16, and other key ramps. The Georgia Department of Transportation advises motorists to follow posted detour signs during closure periods.
