Traffic pacing and traffic impacts next week

Contractors for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will continue construction activities related to the I-16/I-75 Interchange Improvement Project next week in Macon-Bibb. Weather and on-site conditions permitting, the scheduled activities beginning Sunday, April 12, are listed below.

What: (Traffic pacing) Georgia Power will be removing power lines along I-75 Northbound and Southbound & I-16 Westbound. During this work, traffic will be interrupted (traffic pacing) on I-75 both Northbound and Southbound & I-16 Westbound. Due to the traffic pacing, the ramps along the corridor will also be affected.

When: Weather permitting, work is scheduled for Sunday, April 12.

The I-16/I-75 Interchange Improvement Project is a $620 million safety and mobility megaproject. With its massive scope to widen and reconstruct I-16, I-75 and their interchange in Macon-Bibb, this project is being delivered in seven design and construction phases that will continue through 2030. When complete, new CD lanes, additional interstate lanes, new interstate on-and off-ramps, upgrades to 11 bridges, new walls, upgraded drainage systems, etc. will deliver safer and improved mobility for Macon-Bibb's local commuters and businesses, regional travelers and commercial freight from the Georgia southern coast to destinations within the state and throughout the U.S.

Advisory: Dates may change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones.
