The Gist: Lane closures are expected on I-75 this weekend in the Cobb County and Fulton County areas due to a bridge preservation project.
The Project: The Georgia Department of Transportation’s contractors have scheduled lane closures on I-75 within Cobb County and Fulton County for this weekend. This is a part of a bridge preservation project being executed in three locations on I-75 in Cobb County and Mount Paran Road situated in Fulton County.

Why It Matters: The upcoming lane closures on I-75 are likely to cause some delays to drivers, and as such, the Georgia Department of Transportation has advised motorists to expect and plan for delays. Drivers have been urged to exercise caution while passing through work zones and use appropriate signed detours during the closure period.
