Weekend roadwork lessens for Easter weekend
(WXIA) -- Only one major daytime closure will affect drivers on Atlanta's highways this weekend.
The leftmost lane on I-285 north will be closed between I-20 and Ga. 400 on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Crews must close the lane to remove a barrier wall.
"With only that one closure on I-285, everyone should have an easier time getting to their destination," Georgia Department of Transportation District Construction Engineer Shun Pringle said in a statement.
Nighttime closures will still occur in a handful of locations.
Three right lanes of I-20 west between Wesley Chapel and Candler roads will be closed for striping every night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Two left lanes of I-285 north between I-20 and Peachtree Dunwoody Road will be closed nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Crews will work to replace a barrier wall in that location.
Other scheduled closures for sweeping, drain cleaning and slab replacement include:
