Drivers traveling on Atlanta's Westside Perimeter should prepare for another weekend of construction and potential delays on Interstate 285.

What we know:

Two left lanes of I-285 will close in both directions beginning Friday night while crews repair and replace concrete slabs.

When lanes will close
