WHEN: Crews will work Monday, March 4 through Friday, March 8. Work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. if weather permits.

Forsyth – mowing on SR 306 and SR 9

Gwinnett – A crew will pick-up trash along SR 13 while guardrail damage will be repaired on SR 20 and I-85. Asphalt patching is planned on SR 13 and will require a lane closure as crews work. A crew will be hand sweeping and cleaning the curb and gutter along SR 124 in the Snellville area. The right lane will be closed as crews sweep and clean in an area.
