Intermittent Lane Closures Coming To I-20 for Courtesy Parkway Extension Project

ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. – Rockdale County Department of Transportation (RDOT), in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), will intermittently close portions of Interstate 20 to perform work for the new Courtesy Parkway Bridge over I-20 during the evening hours of Monday, March 2 and Tuesday, March 3 with crews wrapping up the work on the morning of Wednesday, March 4.

During this work, drivers can experience several changes in driving conditions:

• Traffic Pacing Operation on Eastbound and Westbound I-20 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.
  • Intermittent closures on I-20 Between Highway 138 and North Salem Road.
• Traffic will be released at intermittent times during the proposed work.

“The Courtesy Parkway Bridge project is a critical investment in Rockdale County’s transportation infrastructure.” said Brian Kelley, Director of Transportation for Rockdale County. “We understand these temporary closures may cause some inconvenience, and we appreciate the patience and cooperation of our community as we work to complete this important project safely and efficiently.”

To avoid impacts with the Traffic Pacing Operation, the suggested detours are indicated below:
