WHEN: Nightly between 7 p.m., Tuesday, August 7 and 7 a.m., Wednesday, August 8 and again between 7 p.m., Wednesday, August 8 and 7 a.m., Thursday, August 9.
WHERE: North and Southbound I-75 in Tift County, between mile marker 54 and mile marker 56 at Exit 55/Eldorado/C.R. 418.

A double right lane closure on north and southbound I-75 will be setup between mile marker 54 and mile marker 56 at Exit 55/Eldorado/C.R. 418. Travel lanes will be temporarily reduced from three travel lanes to one travel lane.
The right shoulder pull-off lane of I-75 will be temporarily closed at this location to allow this work. Motorists should slow down in these and all work zones.
Each day, hundreds of Georgia Department of Transportation employees and contractors work on dozens of highway, bridge and intersection improvements throughout the state. Their work often brings them and heavy machinery in close proximity to travel lanes. Fifty-seven Georgia DOT personnel and many more motorists, passengers and contractors’ workers have been killed in highway work zone accidents since 1973. Please help prevent these tragedies by slowing down; being especially attentive and cautious as you pass through construction work zones; and always driving responsibly.
