The eastbound turn lane of Cumming Highway east of Canton will be closed at nights through Friday while crews construct a temporary through lane for the ongoing Ga. 20 widening project, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced.

The turn lane, from I-575 to Scott Road, is scheduled to be closed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., GDOT said. C.W. Matthews Contracting Co. Inc. is widening this 0.34-mile stretch of Cumming Highway (Ga. 20) to six lanes with a raised median. "Motorists should expect delays in the area,” GDOT said.

It is part of a larger project to widen Ga. 20 from Canton to Cumming, a distance of about 20 miles. Information: https://bit.ly/32NI97i
