GDOT to Begin Bridge Reconstruction Over I-85 Today

Beginning today, Crews with the Georgia Department of Transportation will begin demolishing a bridge over I-85.

As part of the I-85 Widening Project, G-DOT construction partners will close the Liberty Church Road/Jesse Cronic Road Bridge over I-85 to perform bridge demolition and replacement.

Temporary signage will divert traffic from Liberty Church Road/Jesse Cronic Road to Braselton Parkway and Green Street/SR 53.

Motorists can expect delays in the area as work continues and obey posted speed limits and traffic control measures inside the project limits.

G-DOT spokesperson Katie Strickland said the work is expected to take about six months, weather permitting.
