Contractors for the Georgia Department of Transportation started a resurfacing project today and will utilize single lane closures between Lisa Street and Westwood Drive south of the City of Rincon in Effingham County.

If weather permits, work will be performed on the southbound travel lanes from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. then move to the northbound lanes from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., for the next eight days.

The project schedule could possibly be extended longer if inclement weather delays the work.

Drivers on this portion of the highway are likely to encounter speed restrictions, stop and go traffic, single lane closures and possible delays.
