The bridge demolition and reconstruction will take place in two phases: “And beginning this weekend, if everything goes right, commuters on the eastbound lanes of 285 will go from four to three anywhere around the Georgia 400 interchange, which has the potential to make for a real mess.” “They’ve already reduced that area to four,” he said.
