Construction continues on 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 Monday night, asphalt paving and bridge construction operations will necessitate single lane closures along I-85 in both directions between SR 211 in Barrow County and Hamilton Mill Road in Gwinnett County. Bridge construction operations will also necessitate single lane closures along I-85 in both directions between SR 53 in Jackson County and SR 211. Work will occur nightly from Monday through Friday between 9pm and 5am, and Saturday from 9pm to 9am Sunday.  Traffic pacing activity will also occur Monday through Saturday night. Pacing activities will take place in both directions between SR 211 and Hamilton Mill Road. 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.
