The Georgia Department of Transportation is back to business as usual after a Memorial Day respite and I-285 will feature heavily in its weekend construction plans.

GDOT says, “Motorists again are asked to avoid non-essential travel on Interstate 285. Projects there will require lane closures, which, in turn, are likely to result in delays.”
