Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) contractors are set to continue resurfacing activities on State Route 154/Memorial Drive from the Fulton County Line/Moreland Avenue to SR 10 in DeKalb County. The project aims to improve the condition of the deteriorating roadway and provide a smoother ride for drivers.
Weather and site conditions permitting, crews will install alternating left and right “rolling” single lane closures on Memorial Drive from Sunday, May 18, at 9 p.m. until Monday morning at 5 a.m. These closures are necessary as workers lower manholes and water valves and begin paving the road. Some noise may be associated with these activities.
The resurfacing project has a budget of $5 million and is expected to be completed by late summer 2025.
Motorists should anticipate delays, exercise caution, and reduce speed while traveling through the work zone during project hours. For real-time updates on work status and traffic conditions, call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.
