NORCROSS, GA – The Georgia Department of Transportation will close up to three lanes of Interstate 85 northbound overnight for the next two weeks for asphalt repairs beginning in Norcross at Jimmy Carter Blvd/Hwy 140, exit 99 to Buford Highway 20, exit 115.
“There is no good time to work on the interstate in Gwinnett County but the best of the worst times is overnight weekdays so that is our plan,” explains Brent Cook, Georgia DOT District Engineer serving Gwinnett County.
Cook says Georgia DOT Maintenance Crews will work overnights starting tonight, Monday, July 27th through Friday morning this week and next.
Crews will remove and replace the damaged asphalt. Work is planned on I-85 between exits 99 and 115 from 8pm-5am nightly as weather allows. Up to three lanes could be closed at a time. Delays are expected as work occurs.
