Delays Expected This Weekend on I-85

Resurfacing and striping work will close lanes on SR 316 all weekend.

Georgia DOT road work on S.R. 316 is expected to back up traffic on I-85 this weekend. 

The work is expected to begin on Friday, June 3 at 9 p.m. and continue until Monday, June 6 at 5 a.m. One or two lanes of 316 eastbound from I-85 to Sugarloaf Parkway will be closed during that time, with bottlenecks expected on SR 316 and 85, according to the DOT. 

Old asphalt will be remove  and replaced and lanes will be striped as part of the work. Crews will also extend the outside lane at Sugarloaf Parkway to create more room for merging traffic.
