NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Heads up if you live or commute near Interstate 285 in Sandy Springs: you could experience lane closures and loud booms on the interstate this week.

Starting on Wednesday, the blasting will happen around I-285 eastbound from Perimeter Center Parkway to Ashford Dunwoody Road from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
We’ll have a LIVE look at the project, on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4 p.m.
