Weekend roadwork moves off the interstate
(WXIA) -- Weekends usually mean lots and lots of interstate traffic in metro Atlanta.
But this weekend, the weather will be gorgeous and much of the roadwork will move off the highways.
"We didn't really plan to avoid work on the interstates this weekend. It just turned out that the contractors didn't schedule any," said Georgia Department of Transportation Metro District Construction Engineer Shun Pringle. "We will likely be back out there next weekend though."
A few interstate projects are still in the works. On I-285, maintenance crews will close two rights lanes from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly to replace concrete slabs. Those closures will happen southbound from Cascade Road to Langford Parkway and northbound from Hollowell Parkway to South Cobb Drive.
