If you’re traveling I-85 North near Commerce this weekend, expect possible delays. The Georgia Department of Transportation is again closing a section of the interstate for bridge repairs.
Weather permitting, GDOT construction partners will close one northbound lane at milepost 144.5 in Jackson County. They’ll replace five edge beams and patch the concrete deck on the North Oconee River bridge as part of ongoing maintenance. That same bridge was closed earlier this week for emergency repairs.
The interstate will be reduced to one lane of traffic around the work zone nightly from Friday, Nov. 12 to Monday, Nov. 15 from 9 p.m. at 5 a.m.
GDOT says all I-85 Northbound motorists should expect delays and are encouraged to use an alternate route.
