I-285 reopening on Atlanta's west side delayed Monday morning
ATLANTA - Drivers traveling on Interstate 285 on Atlanta’s west side are facing delays as a full shutdown remains in place because of ongoing road work.
All lanes of I-285 are closed between Cascade Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
Although the interstate was originally scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m., the reopening has been delayed until 8 a.m., according to Georgia Department of Transportation.
Drivers who normally travel through the affected stretch of the Perimeter will need to use alternate routes while the closure remains in effect.
Motorists should allow additional travel time and expect delays in the surrounding area as traffic is diverted from the interstate.
