Construction Activity continues for I-85 Widening Project 

Construction activity for the I-85 Widening project will require lane closures next week along the corridor in Gwinnett, Barrow, and Jackson counties.  Beginning Tuesday night through Saturday night, asphalt paving will necessitate single lane closures along I-85 in both directions between SR 211 in Barrow County and SR 53 in Jackson County.  Additional nightly closures for paving will occur northbound from Hamilton Mill Road in Gwinnett County to SR 211. Work will occur nightly between 9pm and 5am Tuesday through Thursday night, 9pm to 7am Friday night, and 9pm to 9am Saturday night.  Traffic pacing activity will also occur nightly. Pacing activities will take place southbound from SR 60 in Jackson County to SR 211 and northbound from Hamilton Mill Road to SR 211. Pacing will begin at 9pm nightly and continue until 5am each morning.  Drivers are advised to obey posted speed limits and traffic control measures inside the project limits.
