I-75 Blasting to cause delays Thursday

Motorists traveling on Interstate 75 and Emory Road (State Route 131) should be prepared for temporary traffic impacts related to upcoming construction work.

Blasting activities originally scheduled for Feb. 24 have been postponed.

Beginning at about 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, rolling roadblocks will be in place on I-75 South starting at Exit 117 (Raccoon Valley Road) and on I-75 North. The roadblocks will allow crews to perform blasting work near Exit 112 (Emory Road/Powell).

The rolling roadblocks are expected to last about 15 to 20 minutes.

The schedule is weather-dependent.
