The lane closures will run from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day through Aug. 27, GDOT says.
The public should be aware that slower speeds are necessary due to reduced travel lanes in this area. Since this is a work zone, motorists are advised to use extreme caution as they travel through this area.
Message signs, barrels and/or cones will be utilized to alert the public of the upcoming changes. Drivers should be aware that personnel and equipment will be operating in close proximity to travel lanes.
