GDOT Begins Work on I-85 Northbound This Week
Expect some delays overnight on I-85 northbound in the Banks Crossing area.
The Georgia Department of Transportation announces maintenance work began last night on I-85 north of SR 15/US 411, the Banks Crossing area.
Crews are repairing or replacing the slabs or sections of concrete on the Interstate that are aging to provide a smoother riding surface between the sections, according to GDOT spokesperson Teri Pope.
The right or outside lane will be closed for concrete slab maintenance. Crews will work overnights Monday through Thursday from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. as weather permits. Overnight work is expected to last approximately 3 weeks, Pope said.
Other work going on this week, GDOT crews will be mowing the grass along SR17 in Stephens County and work to widen SR17 to a four lane also continues this week.
