According to a GDOT press release, the closures will take place from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Wednesday, Feb. 28.
GDOT spokeswoman Katie Strickland said construction partner Georgia Bridge and Concrete will install bird netting and protective platforms on five separate bridges in advance of construction.
Work on the bridge replacement projects will start in May on five existing bridges along the I-85 corridor in Franklin and Jackson counties:
- Plainview Road over I-85
- Neal Road over I-85
- Cedar Ridge Road over I-85
- Old Stagecoach Road over I-85
- Brown Road over I-85
Strickland said the lanes closures will take place at I-85 at Plainview Road, Neal Road, then Old Stagecoach Road. Crews will execute one lane closure per bridge at a time, switching from northbound to southbound lanes on consecutive nights. After the northbound work is complete, crews will stage and begin work on the next bridge.
Strickland said the work schedule could change depending on weather conditions.
