I-285 Construction Closures in Cobb County Adjusted Due to Weather

Georgia Department of Transportation canceled the full closure of all lanes on I-285 in the metro Atlanta area because of expected heavy rain this weekend. The next scheduled full closure of northbound and southbound lanes in Cobb and Fulton counties is set for October 16 until October 19, weather permitting. Additionally, no single or double lane closures will be installed in the project area related to the I-285 Westside Rebuild concrete slab reconstruction and rehabilitation project in Cobb County.

The construction work is part of the ongoing I-285 Westside Rebuild Project, which includes improvements to the roadway shoulder lanes, concrete median, signage, guardrail, and ATMS/ITS systems. These infrastructure projects are part of Georgia's larger efforts to manage major projects in Atlanta.

Georgia oversees major infrastructure projects in Atlanta, which is also the location of Georgia's legislative session.
