- On Saturday and Sunday from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., one ramp lane and shoulder lane will be narrowed from I-285 westbound to I-75 northbound;
- For safety, police and emergency vehicles will pace traffic to slow speeds through these narrowed lanes on the I-285 westbound and eastbound ramps to I-75 northbound.
Drivers will be alerted of the upcoming traffic impacts by message boards and barricades in advance of approaching the area. As always, motorists traveling in the area are reminded to reduce their speeds in the work zone. Motorists are also encouraged to wear seatbelts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and plan their routes before getting on the road by calling 511 for real-time information on work status and traffic conditions.
