Motorists in the area of SR 42/North Druid Hills Road to I-85 northbound Frontage Road should prepare for weekend closures starting March 7. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) announced that these closures are necessary for beam settings on a new braided ramp bridge.
The detour will direct drivers traveling eastbound and westbound on SR 42/North Druid Hills Road to use I-85 northbound Frontage Road and Clairmont Road to access I-85 northbound. Pacing will occur while beams are being set, but motorists will still be able to access the I-85 northbound on-ramp.
The specific closure times are from Saturday, March 8, at 8 p.m. until Sunday, March 9, at 8 a.m. GDOT advises motorists to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce speed when driving through work zones. Real-time updates on work status and traffic conditions can be accessed by calling 511 or visiting the website 511ga.org.
Additional information about the project is available online at GDOT's project page. The department assures that personal information provided by subscribers will not be sold or offered to third parties for marketing purposes.
