Weekend lane closures scheduled for Briarcliff Road in DeKalb County

Georgia Department of Transportation contractors will install overnight lane closures this weekend to continue a resurfacing project on State Road 42/Briarcliff Road from Briarcliff Place to SR 13/Buford Highway in DeKalb County.

Transportation officials say the resurfacing project will produce a smoother ride for drivers while also improving the condition of the deteriorating roadway.

Weather and on-site conditions permitting, one alternating right or left lane within the project limits will be closed on Briarcliff Road northbound or southbound from 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 30 until 8 a.m. Saturday morning, and from 9 p.m. on Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday morning.

Lane closures help ensure safety for workers and drivers through the project area as crews continue milling, inlay and resurfacing to improve the deteriorating roadway.
