The road will close in both directions from 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, until 5 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, for construction work. The closure is weather permitting.
Drivers heading north on Bouldercrest Road will need to take I-285 east to Flat Shoals Road (Exit 48), then turn around and take I-285 west to Bouldercrest Road (Exit 51).
Drivers heading south will take I-285 west to Moreland Avenue (Exit 52), then follow Moreland Avenue south to Cedar Grove Road to get back to Bouldercrest.
The closure is part of a $107 million project to replace the Bouldercrest Road bridge and make major improvements to the I-285 interchange.
The work also includes five new bridges and new lanes connecting Bouldercrest Road to I-675. Officials say the project is intended to ease congestion and improve safety.
