Weekend Construction Zones and Special Events

It should be an active weekend of construction around Metro Atlanta, especially in the Sandy Springs/Dunwoody area with the Transform I-285/GA-400 project. This will include resurfacing & bridge projects in Fulton County. Not only will lanes be blocked for extended periods of time, but, traffic will also be paced across all lanes of GA-400 & I-285 as part of this project. Lane closures will also be taking place for road work on I-85 in Northeast Atlanta between GA-400 and 17th St. This will cause delays in and out of Midtown. On the south side of town, lanes will be blocked throughout the weekend along I-285 near Old National Highway and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport as well as I-75 south of I-285 in Clayton County.

*All construction is as GDOT reports it and is weather-permitting. All times, lanes blocked, and locations could change.
