Two lanes in each direction are maintained on I-75 during daytime hours.
The I-75 northbound lanes from the U.S. 68/state Route 15 interchange to county Road 99 have been shifted to the right onto the outside shoulder.
Setting of concrete barrier is ongoing throughout this section in the northbound direction.
Once the barrier is in place, construction operations during daytime hours will increase.
The legal speed through the work zone is reduced when workers are present.
Speed limits are displayed via electronic message boards which display the legal, posted speed through the zone.
I-75 southbound in the U.S. 68/state Route 15 interchange area is shifted to the outside shoulder for a short distance and then back during removal of the existing barrier wall.
Removal of the barrier wall is occurring during daytime hours.
The change in traffic pattern will continue for approximately another week.
