I-985 maintenance to slow traffic this week

Drivers who travel I-985 North on the south end of Hall County should expect possible delays this week. The Georgia Department of Transportation is doing road maintenance between mileposts 11 and 13 in the area of Buford and Spout Springs.

The interstate will be narrowed to only one lane in this area between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily. The work began Monday and is scheduled to last through Thursday, August 11, weather permitting.

Motorists are cautioned to reduce their speed while traveling through work zones, stay alert, and watch for workers. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions by calling 511, visiting 511ga.org, or downloading the Georgia 511 app.
