Overnight Lane Closure Advisory for the Interstate 285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane Project

WHAT: Weather permitting, Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) contractors will implement overnight, weekend lane closures on I-285 westbound. These closures will be in place to allow for safe construction of the remaining noise wall panels.

WHEN/WHERE:

Friday, December 19, at 8 p.m. to Saturday, December 20, at 6 a.m.

  • One, right-lane and right-shoulder closure on I-285 westbound between Roswell Road and Riverside Drive


The I-285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane project extends the auxiliary lane between Roswell Road and Riverside Drive and reconstructs the Mt. Vernon Highway bridge over I-285.

The I-285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane project is one of the I-285 Advanced Improvement Projects. It is part of the large-scale MMIP projects advancing across the state to create additional capacity to improve freight movement, provide operational improvements and efficiencies, enhance safety, and decrease travel times on the transportation network.

ADVISORY: The exact time may change due to weather conditions. In addition to this notice, intermittent traffic pacing and lane and ramp closures may occur within the work zone. Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, reduce speed while traveling through work zones, stay alert, and watch for workers. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.
