Drivers traveling on Atlanta-area roadways should prepare for delays this weekend, the Georgia Department of Transportation says.

“Construction on the I-75 Express Lanes projects and I-285 will require lane closures, which, in turn, are likely to result in delays,” the announcement from GDOT says. “Motorists are advised to exercise caution by reducing speed while driving through work zones.”

Here’s GDOT’s to-do list:
