Lane Closure Advisory for the Interstate 285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane Project

WHAT: Weather permitting, Georgia Department of Transportation contractors will implement overnight lane closures on I-285 westbound between Roswell Road and Riverside Drive Friday, September 12, and Friday, September 26. These lane closures are necessary for construction activities.


WHEN/WHERE:

Overnight Closures:

Friday, September 12, and Friday, September 26, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

  • Two, right lanes on I-285 westbound from Roswell Road to Riverside Drive. Motorists should expect traffic pacing in the area.


The I-285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane project extends the auxiliary lane between Roswell Road and Riverside Drive and reconstructs the Mt. Vernon Highway bridge over I-285.

The I-285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane project is one of the I-285 Advanced Improvement Projects. It is part of the large-scale MMIP projects advancing across the state to create additional capacity to improve freight movement, provide operational improvements and efficiencies, enhance safety, and decrease travel times on the transportation network.

ADVISORY: The exact time may change due to weather conditions. In addition to this notice, intermittent traffic pacing and lane and ramp closures may occur within the work zone. Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, reduce speed while traveling through work zones, stay alert, and watch for workers. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app.

Additional project information is available at I-285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane Extension (arcgis.com).
