Prepare for possible traffic delays on I-985 this week in Hall County

GAINESVILLE, Ga.,- On Monday, September 16, at 9 a.m. crews will continue the vegetation management project along Interstate 985 between Oakwood and Gainesville.

This will require single lane closure Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on I-985 southbound between (Exit 16) State Route 53 and (Exit 20) State Route 60.

This project will continue through the end of November 2019 but lane closures may not occur every day.

This project increases safety for drivers on I-985 as the contractor is clearing vegetation 75 feet from the edge of the pavement.

Please plan ahead and expect delays in you are traveling on I-985 next week.
