Work continues on I-85 Widening, Phase III

Weather permitting, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) and construction partners will implement daytime lane closures along Interstate 85 (I-85) north and southbound in Jackson County. Following recent inspections of the bridges and roadway, crews will continue asphalt repairs within the project limits.  Right lane closures will be in place the following times and locations: Tuesday, January 10, 9:30am until 1pm on I-85 northbound at mile marker (MM) 140.2 to MM 140.9, Tuesday, January 10, 1-4:30pm on I-85 southbound at MM 141 to MM 140.3, Wednesday, January 11, 9:30am until 1pm on I-85 northbound at MM 146.2 t MM 146.9, and Wednesday, January 11, 1-4pm.  Recent weather conditions have prevented contractors from completing night paving operations. Temporary daytime closures will allow crews to perform needed maintenance.  More information about the I-85 Widening, Phase III project can be found at https://i-85-widening-015245-gdot.hub.arcgis.com/.
