Friday Night Lane Closures on I-75 at S. Barrett Reliever in Marietta

ATLANTA METRO - Contractors for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will install lane closures on I-75 at the South Barrett Parkway Reliever in the City of Marietta this Friday night.

Weather permitting, one alternating right or left lane will be closed on I-75 at the South Barrett Reliever northbound and southbound between SR 5 Spur (exit 267A) and SR 5 Connector/Barrett Parkway (exit 269), from 9 p.m. on Friday, August 14 until 6 a.m. on Saturday. These closures will help keep work crews and drivers safe during the rehabilitation activities.

This work is part of an on-going project to rehabilitate the I-75 northbound and southbound bridges over Barrett Parkway, including bridge joint replacement, deck overhang repairs, replacement of anchor bolts and painting of the superstructures.

Message boards will give drivers advance notice of the upcoming traffic pacing and lane closures. Motorists are advised to expect delays and use signed detours, exercise caution and reduce their speed while 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.
