I-75 At Barrett Pkwy. Lane Closures In Cobb County This Weekend

COBB COUNTY, GA—Georgia Department of Transportation contractors plan to close lanes on I-75 northbound over Barrett Parkway this weekend in Cobb County.

Weather permitting, GDOT officials said these are the scheduled traffic impacts on I-75 northbound in proximity of the SR 5 Connector/Barrett Parkway:

• Traffic will be paced and one left lane will be closed from 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7 until 5 a.m. on Saturday for restriping, and
• One right lane will be closed from 5 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8 until 5 a.m. on Sunday for placement of barrier wall.

These closures are needed to perform rehabilitation of the I-75 southbound Bridge over Barrett Parkway, according to the GDOT.

This $4.280 million project is scheduled for completion on March 31, 2020.
