From the Cobb communications office:
Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) contractors will implement overnight lane closures on I-75 this weekend for resurfacing. Expect some traffic delays.
Weather permitting, these are the lane closures scheduled for Friday, May 17 from 9:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. Monday, May 20:
- Two right lanes and right shoulder lane will be closed on I-75 southbound between the Canton Road and Delk Road exits;
- Three right lanes will be closed on I-75 northbound between the I-75/I-285 interchange and the Canton Road exit.
Overhead signs and message boards in the Marietta area will alert drivers of the closures in advance. These major closures reduce prolonged impacts to the traveling public by condensing the crews and equipment needed and ensuring safety for workers and drivers.
Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes to their destinations and/or allow extra travel time for traffic delays.
As always, motorists traveling in the area are reminded to reduce their speeds in the work zone. Motorists are also encouraged to wear seatbelts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and plan their routes before getting on the road by calling 511 for real-time information on work status and traffic conditions.
