JESUP The Georgia Department of Transportation announced Monday that to help travelers during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, construction-related lane closures on all interstate and major state-system highways would be suspended from noon Friday, May 24, to 5 a.m. Tuesday, May 28. 

The DOT notes that some work may continue on lesser-traveled state and local-system roads and that incident or emergency maintenance-related lane closures could become necessary on any route. The DOT reminds travelers to exercise caution nonetheless as heavy holiday traffic is expected throughout the state.
