DOT Helping Out for the Holiday Weekend

According to a Press Release, the Georgia Department of Transportation will be restricting construction-related lane closures beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday, July 2 and continuing through 5 a.m. Monday, July 6, across the state, so Georgian’s can better enjoy the long holiday weekend without road work delays.

The Department does  remind motorists that work crews may still be working in proximity to highways; and safety concerns may require some long-term lane closures to remain in place.  Also, incident management or emergency maintenance-related lane closures could become necessary at any time on any route.

For updated information about travel conditions on Georgia’s interstates and state routes, Georgia DOT advises travelers to call 511 before getting on the road.
