Roadwork, romance for Atlanta’s 'Valentine's Weekend'

Some roads around Atlanta will not be a “sweetheart” ride for this Valentine’s Day weekend.

Many projects will be in full gear, including lane restrictions and overnight closures for some exit ramps at the I-285/Georgia-400 corridor in Sandy Springs.

More work along the west side of the I-285 Perimeter will restrict lanes between Camp Creek Parkway (Exit 2) and Atlanta Road (Exit 16), in various locations.

Also, watch for the I-85 road work to restrict lanes overnight in Atlanta by the Buford Spring Connector (Exit 86), and from Gwinnett to Jackson Counties along I-85 on both sides of Highway 211 (Exit 126, Barrow County).

Looking for a romantic night out this Valentine’s weekend? Georgia’s own Alan Jackson is at State Farm Arena Friday (2/14) for a night of country music to remember.

Also Friday, world renowned crooner Tony Bennett (At age 93!) appears at Atlanta Symphony Hall for his only area appearance in 2020.

The Fox Theater is host to Broadway in Atlanta’s version of the hit musical, “Hello Dolly!” this weekend as the Atlanta Ballet’s, “The Swan Princess” is in residency at Cobb Energy Centre all weekend long.

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