Expect Traffic Delays **** ATLANTA, GA – The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) contractors install lane and ramp closures on Interstate 85 (I-85) in Clayton and Fulton counties this weekend to continue a concrete slab rehabilitation project on five miles between State Route 139/Riverdale Road (SR 139) and State Route 3/Metropolitan Parkway (SR 3) in Clayton and Fulton Counties. These activities help repair and extend the life of the concrete materials on the roadway.

- I-85 southbound exit ramp to Virginia Avenue (exit 73)

- I -85 southbound exit to Sylvan Road (exit 75)

Roadside signage will advise drivers of the closures in advance and provide directions to the detour routes.
This $7.1 M project is scheduled for completion in early 2026.
