Weekend Lane Closures on I-20 in Conyers for Reconstruction/Widening Project


ATLANTA METRO - Crews for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will install lane closures on Interstate 20 (I-20) eastbound and westbound in the City of Conyers, Rockdale County this weekend. These activities are related to the GDOT I-20 at State Route (SR) 138/SR 20 Reconstruction and Widening Project to widen the existing Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) overpass bridge at I-20 and provide additional access to I-20 westbound.

Weather and on-site conditions permitting, beginning 9 p.m. on Friday, April 17 until 5 a.m. on Monday, one lane will be closed on I-20 eastbound or westbound between West Avenue (exit 80) and Salem Road (exit 82). In addition, one lane of the entrance and exit ramps to SR 20/SR 138 (exit 82) will be closed, but the ramps will remain open to traffic. Signage will alert drivers approaching the closures in advance.

The I-20 at SR 138/SR 20 Reconstruction and Widening project will provide additional traffic capacity by replacing the existing six-lane DDI bridge over I-20 with a new, widened bridge with eight lanes (four lanes in each direction), dual left turn lanes in each direction and sidewalks. In addition, the project will provide direct access to I-20 westbound from Dogwood Drive and a mini-roundabout at Dogwood Drive at the western entrance to Conyers Plaza. This $83.6 million project is scheduled for completion in summer 2028.

ADVISORY: GDOT reminds drivers to exercise caution when traveling through work zones. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.
