Weather permitting, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) and its construction partners will temporarily close interstate lanes for geotechnical borings and utility location in preparation for upcoming construction. This is part of the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project, which aims to reconstruct and widen several interstate ramps and add new lanes.
The closures are scheduled as follows:
Daytime Closure:
– Saturday, July 12, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., there will be a single right-lane and right-shoulder closure on I-20 eastbound from the Factory Shoals Road overpass to Riverside Parkway.
Nighttime Closures:
– From Monday, July 14, through Friday, July 18, nightly from 7 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., there will be closures on Six Flags Parkway from Lee Industrial Boulevard to South Service Road.
– Nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., closures will occur at Harwell Road from Collier Drive to Amhurst Drive; Delmar Lane from Arlington Drive to Harwell Road; Fairburn Road from Argus Circle to Fairlane Drive; Collier Drive from Harwell Road to Collier Court; SR 70/Fulton Industrial Boulevard southbound from Wendell Drive to Shirley Drive; and SR 139/Martin Luther King Jr. Drive northbound from Old Gordon Road to Adamsville Drive.
– From Monday, July 14, through Friday, July 18, nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., closures will take place on I-20 westbound from Anderson Avenue underpass to Riverside Parkway; I-285 southbound from US 278/SR 8/Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway to SR 139/Martin Luther King Jr. Drive; and I-285 northbound from Cascade Road to Bolton Road.
