The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has announced a new nightly lane closure on GA 400 for the new express lanes project.
The temporary lane closures are scheduled to run nightly from Monday, Aug. 3, through Friday, Aug. 7, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
One southbound and northbound lane from Roberts Drive to the North Springs MARTA station will be closed.
A double lane closure will affect GA 400 southbound from Mansell Road to Riverside Road, while the northbound double lane closure will stretch from Mansell Road to Kimball Bridge Road
GDOT added that a single lane will close at the Holcomb Bridge Road southbound exit.
While the closures are scheduled for next week, GDOT noted that all roadwork activities are "weather permitting," leaving it unclear if rain or storms will push the timeline back.
GDOT did not list recommended detour routes for motorists trying to avoid the single and double lane closures.
The latest roadwork is part of a larger initiative to build approximately 16 miles of new express lanes from the North Springs MARTA Station in Fulton County to about one mile north of McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution and reduce their speeds in work zones.
GDOT also warned drivers to expect delays and slow-downs.
