Motorists traveling through Bibb County on I-75 Southbound should be prepared for delays next week as maintenance crews from the Georgia Department of Transportation undertake concrete pavement replacement work. The work is scheduled to take place at Milepost 170, near the Riverside Road to Arkwright Road corridor.
The Details: The replacement work will occur on Wednesday and Thursday night, September 4 and 5, 2024. Lane 2 on I-75 Southbound at Milepost 170 will be closed during the maintenance period. The closure is set to begin at 7 p.m. and will last until 3:30 a.m. the following morning.
Why It Matters: This project is part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the safety and durability of the state’s roadways. The pavement replacement will help address wear and tear on this heavily traveled section of I-75, which is a key route for both local and long-distance travelers.
Motorist Advisory: Drivers are advised to plan for possible delays and to approach the work zone with caution. Reduced speed limits will be in place, and GDOT urges all motorists to drive carefully and stay alert for construction workers and equipment.
For those seeking real-time updates on traffic conditions and the status of the work, GDOT recommends using their resources such as the 511 travel information system. You can access this by calling 511, visiting the website at 511ga.org, or downloading the Georgia 511 app on your smartphone.
