Motorists traveling along Alabama Highway in Floyd County should prepare for periodic lane closures as the Georgia Department of Transportation begins an extended roadway maintenance project. GDOT maintenance crews have started shoulder improvement work along State Route 20 (Alabama Highway). As part of the project, the right eastbound lane will be closed between mileposts 6 and 12 during daytime work hours.
The lane closures are scheduled to be in effect from Nov. 12, 2026, through May 17, 2027, with crews working Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Transportation officials are urging drivers to slow down, remain alert and use caution when traveling through the work zone. Motorists should be aware of workers and equipment operating near the roadway and should expect possible delays during construction hours.
GDOT recommends that travelers check traffic conditions before heading out by using the Georgia 511 system, visiting the state’s traffic information website, or utilizing the Georgia 511 mobile app for real-time updates.
The maintenance work is part of ongoing efforts to improve roadway conditions and enhance safety for motorists traveling through Floyd County.
