Overnight Lane Closures on SR 140/Holcomb Bridge Rd This Weekend for Resurfacing



ATLANTA – Contractors for the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will implement overnight lane closures on SR 140/Holcomb Bridge Road in Fulton County this weekend to begin milling, inlay and resurfacing activities on the roadway.



Weather permitting, “rolling” single lane closures will be in place between Mansell Road and the Gwinnett County line beginning at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, September 6 until 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. The initial work involves patching various places along the project and lowering manholes. As crews complete work in one location, the lane closures will “roll” with the crews to the next work location. Roadway signs and message boards along the road will alert drivers of the closures in advance.



Resurfacing will improve the condition of the deteriorating roadway, providing a much smoother ride and improving the integrity of the road materials and topping. Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes to their destinations and/or allow extra travel time for traffic delays.



This project will resurface Holcomb Bridge Road from just east of SR 9/Alpharetta Highway to the Gwinnett County line, approximately 6.7 miles. The project completion is scheduled for late February 2020.



As always, motorists traveling in the area are reminded to reduce their speeds in the work zone. Motorists are also encouraged to wear seatbelts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and plan their routes before getting on the road by calling 511 for real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. ###
