Weekend of road work within the metro Atlanta "show season"

A weekend for specialty shows in metro Atlanta is met with many resuming work projects for area expressways.

Local commuters, weather permitting, should watch for road work along the I-285 Perimeter between Roswell Road (Exit 25) and Chamblee Dunwoody Road (Exit 30), and by I-75 (Exit 20) in the northern sector.

Expect lane restrictions between Hollowell Parkway (Exit 12) and South Cobb Drive (Exit 15) in the western sector of the 285 Perimeter. I-75 in Cobb County will have road work in southbound lanes by Barrett Parkway (Exit 269), and I-75 in Henry County will have similar work between Bill Gardner Parkway (Exit 212) and SR-16 (Exit 205) in Butts County.

Traffic should be expected approaching a pair of seasonal shows this weekend. One show at the Atlanta Expo Center is for the Atlanta Camping and RV Show, while the Cobb Galleria Center hosts the Great American Motorcycle Show Friday and Saturday!

Expect traffic volume by State Farm Arena this weekend as “Oprah Winfrey’s 2020 Vision” will take the stage Saturday morning, with Atlanta Hawks Basketball Sunday evening, when the Hawks host the Washington Wizards in NBA play.

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