Weather and on-site conditions permitting, crews will close three left lanes on I-85 southbound between Steve Reynolds Boulevard and Jimmy Carter Boulevard from 7 p.m. on Friday, August 9 until 3 a.m. on Saturday.
On-site message boards and traffic control measures will alert drivers approaching the area. Lane closures help ensure safety for workers and drivers through the project area as crews continue milling, inlay and resurfacing to improve the deteriorating roadway.
