Lots of Cobb County Roadwork This Weekend

Several Cobb County roads and highways will be impacted this weekend due to DOT roadwork.

• On I-285, traffic traveling on the eastbound collector-distributer lane to I-75 northbound will be directed to take the I-75 southbound exit ramp (Exit 20) to Cumberland Boulevard. Traffic will then be directed to turn left on Cumberland Boulevard followed by another left to then enter I-75 Northbound via the ramp from Cumberland Boulevard. The I-75 southbound ramp to I-285 eastbound Collector Lanes (Exit-259A) will also be closed, and traffic will need to take the primary ramp (Exit-259) to access I-285 eastbound from I-75 southbound. The detour will take place nightly from 9 p.m., Friday until 5 a.m., Sunday.
• On I-575, one northbound lane will close between SR 92/Alabama Road and Ridgewalk Parkway from 9 p.m., Friday until 5 a.m., Sunday.
• On I-75, two southbound lanes will close between SR 280/Delk Road and Windy Hill Road from 9 p.m., Sunday until 5 a.m., Monday.
• A traffic pace will take place on all southbound lanes between SR 120 Loop/South Marietta Parkway and Windy Hill Road from 9 p.m., Sunday until 5 a.m., Monday. The traffic pace will require motorists to drive 5 mph -10 mph to allow contractors to work across the interstate lanes.
• The I-75 southbound ramp to Delk Road will close and a detour will be in place. The detour begins at the Delk Road/I-75 intersection. Traffic heading I-75 Southbound will be directed to take the I-75 Northbound ramp to travel northbound to South Marietta Parkway (Exit 263) and keep left to take the 120 Westbound loop (Marietta/KSU Marietta) onto South Marietta Parkway. Traffic will then be directed to turn left to enter I-75 Southbound via the ramp from South Marietta Parkway. The detour will take place from 9 p.m., Sunday until 5 a.m., Monday. (see attached map).

I-75

• Two northbound lanes will close between SR 280/Delk Road and SR 120 Loop/ South Marietta Parkway from 7 p.m., Sunday until 5 a.m., Monday.
• Rolling closures will take place on the northbound and southbound lanes between SR 138 and Cumberland Boulevard. The closures will take place from 9 p.m., Friday until 5 a.m., Sunday to allow crews to install road pavement markers (RPM). Installing RPMs on the interstate is a slow moving operation; therefore, Georgia DOT contractors will subsequently slow down traffic traveling on I-75 to complete their work. Motorists should expect multiple lane closures at a time and slow down while driving through the work zone.
