Hot weather to impact weekend road work

Hot weather will impact weekend road work, contributing to potentially scorching delays in Metro Atlanta.

Lane restrictions are planned for all directions by the I-285/Georgia-400 corridor project in northern Fulton County.

More road work delays are expected in Clayton County along the south side of I-285, from west of the airport tunnel to Jonesboro Road (Exit 55).

Paving work on I-20 in Douglas County, and on I-75 by Bill Gardner Parkway (Exit 212) in Henry County are projected to block lanes during overnight hours.

Watch for heavy traffic in Downtown Atlanta for music and “football” events. Georgia Tech hosts The Citadel in NCAA Football at Bobby Dodd Stadium while Atlanta United plays Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Saturday. The Atlanta Falcons take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in NFL action Sunday.

Delays on side streets by Atlanta’s Piedmont Park are expected with “Music Midtown 2019” performances scheduled all day on Saturday and Sunday.

*All construction is as GDOT reports it and is weather-permitting. All times, lanes blocked, and locations could change.
