Georgia drivers face nearly three years of overnight traffic shifts and delays on a busy stretch of I-75. The work starts this summer and runs through nine counties in Georgia.
🚧 Why It Matters: Your commute could take longer if you drive I-75 between Henry and Dooly counties. The overnight work happens when many shift workers and travelers are on the road.
🔧 What’s Happening: The Georgia Department of Transportation will replace overhead signs along 150 miles of I-75. Workers will pace traffic and shift lanes to safely install and remove the large sign structures.
- The project covers both north and southbound lanes from Dooly County to Henry County
- Work happens overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting July 24, 2025
- Nine counties will see traffic impacts – Henry, Spalding, Lamar, Monroe, Bibb, Crawford, Peach, Houston, and Dooly. The project covers both north and south lanes of I-75 from Dooly County’s State Route 215 to Henry County’s Bill Gardner Parkway.
⏰ Timeline Alert: The project runs until summer 2027, meaning drivers will deal with these disruptions for nearly three years. Weather and other issues could push back the timeline even more.

We live in a time when information feels overwhelming, but here’s what hasn’t changed: facts exist whether they comfort us or not.
When A&W launched their third-pound burger to compete with McDonald’s Quarter Pounder in the 1980s, it failed spectacularly. Not because it tasted worse, but because customers thought 1/3 was smaller than 1/4. If basic math can trip us up, imagine how easily we can misread complex news.
The press isn’t against you when it reports something you don’t want to hear. Reporters are thermometers, not the fever itself. They’re telling you what verified sources are saying, not taking sides. Good reporting should challenge you — that’s literally the job.
Next time a story makes you angry, pause. Ask yourself: What evidence backs this up? Am I reacting with my brain or my gut? What would actually change my mind? And most importantly, am I assuming bias just because the story doesn’t match what I hoped to hear.
Smart readers choose verified information over their own comfort zone.
