GDOT: Long Delays on I-285, I-75 This Weekend

Expect major delays and backups on highways as crews work on resurfacing projects.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is warning motorists of long delays and major backups in both directions on the I-285 top end this weekend as crews work on the mainline in both directions and close several ramps as part of the massive resurfacing project, weather permitting.

All weekend, three right lanes will be closed eastbound from I-75 to Long Island drive, and three right lanes will be closed westbound from Northside Drive to Powers Ferry Road. Crews will also close and reopen several ramps along the top end. During the ramp closures, signed detours will be in place.
