After more than two years of work I-20 is returning to normal. One of the main parts of the project was a new interchange at Bobby Jones Expressway…where motorists are now going up, up, up…as they drive away. WJBF News Channel 6’s George Eskola has more.

According to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GADOT), the I-20 west ramp to Bobby Jones Expressway east and west will be closed on Thursday, October 8th and/or Friday, October 9th (weather permitting) from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. and/or 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.

According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, the I-20 west exit ramp to Belair Road will be temporarily closed to facilitate the forming and pouring of concrete walls on this ramp. We have the dates and times of the temporary closure.

The new on-ramp from I-20 westbound to the Bobby Jones Expressway southbound is now open.

You’re driving away from the city, on Washington Road, and you want to go I-20 west…problem is, that ramp’s been closed for a couple of years, and the detour takes you five miles out of your way. WJBF News Channel 6’s Barclay Bishop found out that extra time…will save you some cash.

According to a press release, the Georgia Department of Transportation, Scott Bridge Company, Inc., and United Contractors, Inc., announce the Bobby Jones Expressway west entrance ramp to Interstate Highway 20 west will close tonight and will be closed until further notice. A detour will be in place directing traffic to Scott Nixon Boulevard, Bobby Jones Expressway east, and then back to I-20 west.
