Drivers Could See Roadwork on SR 120 This Week

Drivers traveling on State Route 120 in Paulding County could see maintenance workers on the job this week.

Georgia Department of Transportation crews are set to work on sealing the cracks on the surface of the roadway of SR 120. Sealing pavement cracks is a Georgia DOT maintenance practice that helps to prevent water from entering the base and sub-base of the roadway and extends the pavement life by at least three years while improving rideability on that roadway.

Crews are also scheduled to resume work on trimming overgrown vegetation along SR 120 as part of the DOT’s integrated roadside vegetation management maintenance program.

Both projects are set to run each weekday this week from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., weather permitting.

Georgia 511 is a free phone service that provides real-time traffic and travel information statewide, including winter weather closures, reports of icing or other hazardous conditions on interstates and state routes. Callers also can transfer to operators to request assistance or report incidents 24 hours a day, seven days a week. More information is available at www.511ga.org.
