I-75 Detours in Place This Weekend

Weather permitting, a night time detour will take place this weekend for bridge construction within the Northwest Corridor project, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced Friday.

Traffic traveling I-75 Southbound to Cobb Parkway will be directed to take the ramp to I-285 Westbound and travel westbound to Paces Ferry Road (Exit 18). Traffic will then be directed to turn left on Paces Ferry Road followed by another left to enter I-285 Eastbound via the ramp from Paces Ferry, GDOT said.

Work will begin Saturday, December 19th and runs until Sunday, December 20th between the off-peak hours of 11:00PM – 5:00AM, according to GDOT.

Motorists are advised to exercise caution while driving in these areas. On-site message boards indicating dates, times and detour routes will be present in advance of these closures.

Please be advised that construction activities, including material deliveries, may result in traffic delays prior to the start of any lane closure or detour.
