From the Georgia DOT:

The Georgia Department of Transportation will scale back road construction activities across metro Atlanta and suspend construction-related lane closures on all interstate and major state routes to ease Memorial Day weekend traffic congestion.

Starting at noon on Friday, May 24 and continuing to 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, May 28, 2019, there will be no construction-related scheduled lane closures on any Georgia interstate highway – including metro Atlanta Interstates 20, 75, 85, 285 and 675 or any primary state route that directly serves Georgia’s major tourist and recreation centers.
 
The Department notes that some work may continue on lesser-traveled state and local system roads and that incident or emergency maintenance-related lane closures could become necessary on any route. If motor vehicle accidents occur on any roadway, temporary lane closures may be installed until the scenes are cleared.
