ZEBULON - Crews with a project to resurface the asphalt on US 19/Georgia 3 in Upson, Pike and Spalding Counties will be starting the project in the Zebulon Square area next week, Monday, Mar. 30 through Friday, Apr. 3, 2020 from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day.
Two teams will be milling up the old asphalt and paving Georgia 3, working in both the northbound and southbound lanes simultaneously, and will also be at times extending into Jackson Street and Georgia 18/Barnesville Street/Concord Street.
A lane closure will be installed around each of the crews as they work. Signage will be posted in advance of the work zones, and signal flaggers will be on site to direct traffic. Motorists are urged to be alert to the lane closures and to be patient with the signal flaggers and any traffic that may back up. Drivers may wish to find an alternate route around the Zebulon Square, and are encouraged to call #511Georgia for assistance.
The entire project throughout the three counties should be complete by the end of fall, 2020.
Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions.
