The Gist: Mableton Parkway drivers, take note: the road’s getting a facelift this weekend, which means you’ll face lane closures Friday and Sunday nights.
What Happened?: Crews will be hard at work on Mableton Parkway, also known as SR 139, this Friday and Sunday. They’ll start at 9 p.m. both nights and wrap up by 6 a.m. the next mornings. The lane closures stretch from the line between Cobb and Fulton counties down to Veterans Memorial Highway in Cobb. If you’ve been wondering why the road’s been so rough, it’s because they’re tackling the ongoing issue of deteriorating road conditions. It’s all part of a bigger $3.2 million resurfacing project.
By The Numbers:
- Project cost: $3.2 million
- Timeframe: From September 15 and 17, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- Completion date: Spring 2024
Why It Matters: Resurfacing is more than just a fresh coat of asphalt. It means safer and smoother rides for everyone using the road. But during the project, it’s crucial to be extra cautious. Speed limits will be lowered in the work zones, so slow down and watch out for workers and signs.
What’s Next?: Weather and conditions on the ground have to cooperate for all this to happen. So, if you want to stay ahead of the game, you can check out real-time updates. Just dial 511, visit 511ga.org, or get the Georgia 511 app.
