GDOT maintenance crews will be working on Highway 369 and 20 in Forsyth and on Georgia 400 in Dawson County.

Beginning today (Monday) maintenance crews with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will be in Forsyth County this week working on shoulder repairs on Highway 369 and patching areas of Highway 20 that will require lane shifts.

Crews will also be working on GA 400 at Dawson Forest Road doing concrete work that will also require lane shifts, according to a press release by Teri Pope with GDOT. Additional work will take place with patching on Highway 53 requiring lane shifts and slope repairs along the shoulder of GA 400. These projects are all in Dawson County.

Most activities will only require shoulder or median lane closures.
