WHAT: Weather permitting, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) will implement weekend lane closures in both directions on State Route (SR) 316 between Virgil Langford Road and Jimmy Daniell Road for work in the median area. Motorists should be prepared for workers and equipment to be present throughout the weekend.

Drivers should expect delays during the listed time frames. All closures will be removed by Monday, February 9, at 5 a.m. For alternate routes, visit GA511.

This project is part of a series of roadway improvement projects along SR 316 from SR 20 in Gwinnett County to SR 10 in Athens, Oconee County.
