The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) has announced temporary lane closures as part of the ongoing I-285/I-20 East Interchange project. Weather permitting, these closures are scheduled to occur at various locations between July 4 and July 11, 2025.
The project aims to reconstruct the interstate system-to-system ramps at the I-285/I-20 East Interchange and add collector-distributor and auxiliary lanes along I-20 east of the interchange and I-285 north of the interchange.
Daytime lane closures will take place from Tuesday, July 8, through Friday, July 11, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., affecting sections of I-20 Eastbound from Wesley Chapel Road to Panola Road, Columbia Drive to Wesley Chapel Road, and connecting lanes from the I-285 Interchange to Wesley Chapel Road. Additionally, flagging operations will be conducted on Snapfinger Road under the I-285 overpass and Miller Road between Panola Industrial Boulevard and Chatooga Drive during this period from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Overnight closures will begin on Monday, July 7, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., continuing each night through Friday, July 11. These will involve single to double lane closures on various segments of I-20 Eastbound and Westbound as well as I-285 Southbound and Northbound.
Specific restrictions apply from Thursday, July 3 at noon through Monday, July 7 at 10 p.m., during which no road closures or work that interferes with traffic flow will be conducted.
Furthermore, the Miller Road Bridge over I-20 remains closed until approximately September 2025 due to ongoing construction work related to this project.
