The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is set to undertake maintenance work on portions of Interstate 75 in Whitfield County. The planned work will necessitate the closure of the two left southbound lanes between mileposts 325.5 and 327. This closure is scheduled for Monday night, with repairs beginning at 6 p.m. and concluding by 4 a.m. the following day, provided the weather does not interfere.
Motorists who plan to travel in this area during the scheduled work hours should anticipate delays. GDOT has advised drivers to “expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones.”
As this maintenance work proceeds, GDOT emphasizes its commitment to safety and the implementation of sanitary measures. “Our maintenance team members who repair roads and bridges and our project teams who oversee construction projects are continuing their essential work, while following sanitary work practices prescribed by health agencies to protect themselves and the public from the coronavirus, as are most state DOTs in the U.S.,” stated GDOT.
For those seeking updates on the work status and traffic conditions, GDOT recommends accessing real-time information through available resources. Motorists can call 511, visit 511ga.org, or use the Georgia 511 app for the latest updates.
