I-20 Westbound Road Closure Status

Two Lanes Are Now Open on I-20 Westbound

Georgia Department of Transportation spokesperson Natalie Dale, briefed members of the media on the status of the I-20 westbound road closures that impacted motorists earlier today. Key highlights of the briefing and detour are as follows:

• Georgia Department of Transportation teams are on site and have begun inspection and repairs.
• Crews and contractors will begin removing concrete and excavating materials; running ground penetrating radar to inspect the stability of remaining lanes.
• GDOT plans to open as many lanes as possible by 5 p.m., today.
• HOV lane and adjacent lane will open no earlier than noon Tuesday.
• AGL was working under a utility permit when buckling occurred.
• At this time we cannot speculate as to when all lanes will be open.
