(Media release from the Georgia Department of Transportation):
In anticipation of an increase in Memorial Day Weekend traffic congestion, Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) announces the suspension of all interstate lane closures on Georgia interstates and state routes beginning Friday, May 24 at noon until 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 28.
While construction-related lane closures will be suspended, Georgia DOT reminds motorists to exercise caution as crews may still work near highways, and safety concerns may require some long-term lane closures to remain in place. Additionally, emergency or maintenance-related lane closures could occur at any time on any route.
