Motorists traveling in the area of I-985 and SR 60/Queen City Parkway in Gainesville this weekend will likely experience traffic delays as work continues on bridge construction in the area.
Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) engineers have closed the I-985 northbound ramp until 6 a.m. Monday, March 8. In addition, GDOT has set up single-lane closures on the interstate itself for the entire weekend.
A detour has been set up that will re-route motorists along I-985 southbound to SR 53/Mundy Mill Road. Drivers will then be able to access I-985 northbound from the Mundy Mill Road on-ramp back to Queen City Parkway. Signs have been placed along the detour route.
Any inclement weather may change plans.
The bridge that is undergoing rehabilitation construction is on I-985 over SR 60/Queen City Parkway. GDOT said the overall project is scheduled for completion by November 2021.
