The Georgia Department of Transportation announces routine maintenance activities planned for this week in Barrow, Dawson, Forsyth, Gwinnett and Hall counties. The work includes herbicide spraying on SR 316 and two-lane state routes in Gwinnett.

Most activities will only require shoulder or median lane closures. This is a tentative schedule; if emergency response is needed at a crash scene or if emergency repairs are necessary this schedule will change. 

Monday, Oct. 8, is a holiday. Crews will work Tuesday, Oct. 9, through Friday, Oct. 12. Work hours are 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. if weather permits.

Motorists should slow down in work zones.
