To help ease potential July 4 holiday traffic, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced construction-related lane closures would be suspended on intestate highways and limit closures on state routes that directly serve major tourist and recreation centers from noon July 2 to 10 pm on July 6. In a release announcing the move, motorists are reminded Georgia DOT’s maintenance crews and HERO/CHAMP personnel could still be working in close proximity to interstates and highways, and lane closures due to any emergency situations could become necessary. Motorists needing assistance while traveling on an interstate should dial 511 for HERO/CHAMP operators.

Per a post from Main Street Cochran Facebook page, Daisy Adams road will be closed from the bypass to Lonnie Bryant Road this weekend due to work on the Havenwood Gardens apartment complex. According to the post, Lonnie Bryant Road will be open.

To ease the stress of holiday travel, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced the suspension of construction-related lane closures on heavily traveled interstate highways and state routes near major shopping areas and tourist locations from 5 am December 23 to 10 pm as well as 5 am on December 31 to 5 am on January 2.  A release states the restrictions are designed to reduce traffic congestion during both holiday travel periods.  As usual, the DOT reminds motorists to exercise caution as work zone crews may still be in close proximity to highways, and safety concerns may require some long-term lane closures to remain in place.  Also, incident management or emergency, maintenance-related lane closures could be needed at any time on any route.
