The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) issued the following advisory about extensive upcoming road work affecting the portions of I-20 and I-285 area in Mableton and in southwest Atlanta. The text was copied verbatim from the GDOT press release. The Courier added highlighting and icons for clarity:
Weather permitting, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) contractors will temporarily close interstate lanes for the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project.
As the project progresses, motorists may see travel lanes and shoulders narrowed and shifted through the project limits.
This project will reconstruct and widen several interstate, system-to-system ramps at the I-285/I-20 West Interchange and add a combination of collector-distributor (CD) lanes or connecting lanes, and auxiliary lanes along I-20 west and I-285 north of the interchange.
