AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - More overnight lane closures on Interstate 20 are planned this week as part of the Savannah River bridge improvement project.

The right-lane closures will allow for the delivery and placement of concrete girders on the new bridge as the project continues to make progress. 

The closures will be in place from mile markers 201.5 to 201 on westbound I-20 at these times:

  • 8 p.m. Tuesday until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
  • 10 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday

Both the left and right shoulders of westbound I-20 will be closed, as well.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and drive with caution through the work zone.
