Drivers on I-575 should prepare for temporary ramp closures this evening as construction continues along the interstate. The closures will affect several key entry and exit points, though the exact times are yet to be announced.
The Details:
- The northbound entrance ramp from Hickory Flat Highway/140 (Exit 16) will close at some point tonight.
- The northbound entrance ramp from Highway 20/5/140, near the Williamson Bros. BBQ intersection, is also scheduled for closure.
- The northbound exit ramp to Cumming Highway/Highway 20 (Exit 19) will be closed.
In addition to the ramp closures, I-575 remains reduced to one lane of travel in the northbound direction. Drivers should expect delays and plan alternate routes, especially if using these ramps to access or exit the highway.
Why It Matters: These closures are part of ongoing construction aimed at improving traffic flow in the area. The lane reduction and closures may create additional congestion for those traveling during peak evening hours.
What’s Next: Drivers are advised to monitor updates for specific closure times. Those needing to access local roads near these ramps should consider planning ahead or using alternate routes until work is complete.
