Major Events:


    Weekend Construction:
    • Atlanta: Power Lines Being Moved...GA-400/nb/sb north of I-285. Traffic will be paced near the Hammond Dr. overpass, as crews move power lines across the road four times on Sunday, between 6 a.m. and 12 p.m. The I-285 ramps to GA-400 will also be paced.
    • Coweta Co.: The I-85/nb/sb ramps to Highway 34 (exit 47) will be blocked overnight Friday and Saturday. Plan alternates.


    Ongoing Construction:
    • Atlanta: Another Phase of 14th St. Bridge Improvement Project...16th St./wb is closed until the end of 2009. Access to I-75/nb will not be permitted, so use Williams St. and 14th St. to get to the interstate.
    • Fulton/Coweta Counties: I-85 in both directions south of Highway 74. There are various lane closures in both directions, during the midday and overnight hours. Expect delays and use Highway 29 as an alternate. There is also a lane shift in the area, narrowing much of this stretch to two lanes. Plan extra time and srive with caution through the area.
