Interstate Lane Closure Advisory for the I-285/I-20 West Interchange Project
|
|
Weather permitting, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) and its construction partners will temporarily close interstate lanes for geotechnical boring. They will also conduct rolling lane closures with police and a crash truck on weeknights at the following locations to install signage on the median wall of the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project.
This project will reconstruct and widen several interstate system-to-system ramps at the I-285/I-20 West Interchange and add a combination of collector-distributor lanes or connecting lanes, and auxiliary lanes along I-20 west and I-285 north of the interchange.
