MACON, Ga. — Editor's Note: The video in this story is from a previous report on the interchange project completion date being earlier than previously expected.
The Riverside Drive bridge over I-75 will be closed for several days due to damage from heavy overnight rainfall.
According to a news release from the Georgia Department of Transportation, engineers had to close the bridge – located just south of the I-75 and I-16 interchange – due to damage from rain.
The entire overpass will be closed effective immediately while crews work on repairs, and the target reopening date is Saturday, Sept. 19.
GDOT says signs have been posted in the area and drivers should find an alternate route before hitting the road.
