Section Of I-16 Remains Closed

A two-mile stretch of Interstate 16 in middle Georgia remains closed this morning to westbound traffic at Dublin as repairs continue on an overpass. The state Department of Transportation says the section of I-16 West could remain closed throughout the Memorial Day weekend.

Repair crews are working on an overpass damaged Tuesday by a tractor-trailer carrying a piece of heavy equipment that was too tall to pass beneath the bridge. The impact sent chunks of concrete raining down onto the interstate.

Georgia DOT officials say holiday travelers on that route between Savannah and Macon should plan for delays and a possible detour.
