Friday Night Lane, Ramp Closures on Midtown Connector for Resurfacing
METRO ATLANTA -Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) maintenance crews will install weekend lane closures on Atlanta's Midtown Connector for resurfacing maintenance activities. The purpose of the closures is to ensure safety for workers and motorists during the repairs.
Weather and on-site conditions permitting, these are the closures scheduled beginning 9 p.m. on Friday, August 16 until 5 a.m. Saturday morning:
-
Two left lanes will be closed on the I-85 southbound exit ramp to I-75 southbound.
-
The exit ramp from I-75 southbound to 17th Street will be temporarily closed. On-site signage will alert drivers of these closures and detour in advance.
As always, motorists traveling in the area are reminded to reduce their speeds in the work zone. Drivers are also advised to wear seatbelts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel - put your phone down, and plan routes before getting on the road by calling 511, visit 511ga.org or download the 511GA app for Apple or Android for real-time information on work status and traffic conditions.
