The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) has announced upcoming lane closures as part of the 16@95 Improvement Projects, which involve widening Interstate 16 (I-16) and reconstructing the I-16/I-95 Interchange. These closures are scheduled to begin on Monday, May 12, and will continue through Saturday, May 17.
Daytime lane closures will occur between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on I-16 westbound from the I-16/I-516 Interchange to the I-16/I-95 Interchange. Similarly, eastbound lanes will be affected from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nighttime closures are planned from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., impacting both directions on I-16 and sections of I-516.
Detours are planned for specific ramps at various times, with efforts made to ensure they do not conflict with each other. Continuous right-lane closures on I-16 eastbound at the I-16/I-516 Interchange will take place from Friday, May 16, through Monday, May 19.
In addition to these short-term disruptions, Tremont Road under I-16 has been closed since June 26, 2022, and will remain so until May 31, 2025.
