🌧️ Heavy rain in the forecast? Stay alert and report road hazards to 511. 📲

Don’t drive around barricades. They are there for a reason.⚠️

🚨Treat flashing red lights as a 4-way stop. 🛑

Flooding can happen in minutes, and even a small amount of moving water can carry a vehicle away. ⏱️ If you see water over the road, play it safe and remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

Again, if you see flash flooding, downed trees, or other obstructions, call 511 to help keep Georgia roads safe.

Is this closure for the World Cup? ⚽
No, this is part of a long-term investment in Georgia’s infrastructure.
The I-285 West project is a 3-year rebuild focused on improving safety, traffic flow, and reliability, not a single event.
Better roads are coming, this is just the beginning.

🚛 TRAFFIC ALERT: Trucks approaching the I-285 closure MUST use SR 166/Langford Pkwy as detour. Do NOT use Cascade Rd. 🚫

Trucks attempting to detour via Cascade Rd will lose access at Fairburn Rd and may become trapped.🙅‍♂️

⚠️ Avoid the area if possible.

We know, it’s a busy weekend 💐
But in a growing region like Atlanta, there’s never a perfect time.
Full closures help crews work faster and safer, cutting down the overall project timeline.
Short-term delays. Long-term improvements.
