This summer, the Georgia Department of Transportation will mill and resurface both northbound and southbound lanes of fifteen miles of Interstate 75 from Henry County to Spalding County. 

  The project will extend from the Georgia 155 interchange (exit 216) in Henry County to the Georgia 36/Jackson-Barnesville interchange (exit 201) in Spalding County. Construction crews with E. R. Snell Contractor, Inc. will start working on the southbound lanes in Henry County on Monday, June 24 and will move southward as they progress. A lane closure will be installed around the work crews and signage will be placed in advance of the work zone. Crews with C. W. Matthews Contracting Company are scheduled to begin work on the northbound lanes of the project in mid-July. The entire project is expected to be completed in winter of 2019.

  All work will be done in overnight shifts from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. so that the heavier daytime traffic is affected as little as possible.

  Any changes to the scheduling regarding the Independence Day week will be announced in advance of the holiday.      For up-to-date information regarding work zones through the state of Georgia, download the free Georgia 511 app, available free on both iDevices and Android smart devices.
