Maintenance crews will be striping sections of both directions of I-575 this weekend. This work requires periodic lane closures, potentially causing traffic delays.
When and Where: The work is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, starting around 10 a.m. and continuing through the evening. Crews will focus on several locations along I-575.
Why It Matters: Road striping is essential for maintaining clear and visible lane markings, enhancing safety for drivers. The process requires specific temperatures, so crews will work only during daylight hours as weather permits.
Take Action: Nobody likes traffic delays, but in this situation it is best to anticipate delays, reduce your speed, and exercise caution in work zones. You can also check real-time traffic updates through the Georgia 511 service, which is accessible via phone, online at 511ga.org, or through the Georgia 511 app.
