ATLANTA — Construction on Interstate 285 has a large section of the roadway closed and officials say it could affect how some non-drivers get around.

MARTA said the closures for construction were going to impact how some riders get around.

In a recent announcement, the agency said the closure would affect ride times and scheduling for MARTA bus and MARTA Mobility customers.

"Due to the I-285 closure occurring through Monday, May 18 at 5 a.m., MARTA bus and Mobility customers should expect service delays and longer wait times caused by increased traffic on surface streets," the agency said.

MARTA said rail service is operating normally but encouraged customers to allow extra time for station connections.
