The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) announced further lane closures this weekend on I-75 to continue the work near Cumberland Blvd.

Motorists traveling on Interstate 75 (I-75) near Smyrna and Vinings in Cobb and Fulton counties should be aware of an upcoming lane closure scheduled for Sunday September 17 at 6 a.m. This closure will affect three right lanes southbound on I-75, stretching from Cumberland Boulevard to Northside Parkway. The closure will remain in effect until 5 a.m. on Monday. 

The purpose of this closure is to facilitate a bridge preservation project undertaken by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). As part of the project, contractors will be conducting necessary repairs and improvements to the bridges in this area, including the replacement or repair of the concrete overlay, substructures, superstructures, and bridge joints. The estimated completion date for the $10.7 million project is set for fall 2023.

The GDOT recommends the following safety precautions for drivers approaching the work zone:

As always, motorists traveling in the area are reminded to reduce their speeds in the work zone. Motorists are also encouraged to wear seatbelts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and plan their routes before getting on the road by calling 511 for real-time information on work status and traffic conditions.
