Why this matters in The Atlanta
The upcoming lane closures on State Route 20 in Henry County will undoubtedly impact commuters who rely on this route for their daily travel. With work scheduled to take place between Tomlinson Street and McGarity Road, drivers who frequently pass through this area should plan for potential delays, especially near Mile Marker 7. The presence of traffic control measures, including signs and flaggers, will help direct traffic through the work zone, but motorists are still advised to exercise caution and reduce their speed to minimize safety risks. As road work is a common occurrence in the metro Atlanta area, residents are likely accustomed to navigating through construction zones, but it is crucial to remain vigilant and patient when driving through this particular stretch of SR 20 on Monday and Tuesday.
