Rain could slow both you and construction this weekend

Saturday rain showers may not rain out different events around Metro Atlanta this weekend, but they could cancel or pause different road projects around town.

GDOT is planning daytime work through the weekend mainly on the I-285/GA-400 project and crews certainly will be even busier in the night time hours.

The biggest events of the weekend include the Taste of Atlanta at Old Fourth Ward Park, Post Malone at State Farm Arena on Friday evening, and the Atlanta United (Saturday) and Atlanta Falcons (Sunday) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Georgia Bulldogs will also host Kentucky in Athens, which should make for delays leaving Atlanta on Hwy. 316.

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