Mowing in Forsyth May Require Lane Closures

The Georgia Department of Transportation is planning routine maintenance activities next week in Forsyth and area counties, if weather permits.

Officials expect most activities will only require shoulder or median lane closures, according to the press release. Following is a tentative schedule; if emergency response is needed at a crash scene or if emergency repairs are necessary this schedule will change. 

WHEN

 Crews will work Monday, Aug. 26, through Friday, Aug. 30. Work hours are 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. if weather permits. Lane closures are required for patching asphalt, a flagman or pilot vehicle will direct traffic through the work zone. 

WHAT & WHERE    

Forsyth: Crews will mow State Route 306 and SR 369

Dawson: Crews will mow SR 9 and on SR 136 

Gwinnett: A crew will mow SR 20, SR 124 and SR 324

Hall: A crew will mow on SR 11/US129, SR 60 and I-985 while another crew repairs the damaged slope alongside SR 365 northbound approximately 1 mile north of I-985’s Exit 24. A crew will refresh the striping on SR 11/US 129 at crosswalks and all words on asphalt, this work will require a lane closure. Sealing cracks in the driving surface is planned on SR 60 north of Gainesville. Sealing cracks requires a lane closure while crews work. 

Motorists should reduce their speed in these and all work zones.
