Road work could face washout this weekend,

Today likely to be a washout with highs in the low 70s.

Road crews plan a lot of lane-closing construction this weekend, but rain could postpone some of it, particularly today.

Here’s a look at the scheduled work, all of which is weather-permitting:

Several I-75 hot spots

Because of the Express Lanes project, two southbound lanes of I-75 will be closed nightly between the South Marietta Parkway and Delk Road exits, and one lane of I-75 in each direction will be closed all weekend from Chastain Road to Wade Green Road.

Sign structure work will close one northbound lane of I-75 at the Canton Road Connector from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

On the other side of town, work on the South Metro Express Lanes will shut down two lanes of I75 southbound between Jonesboro Road and Ga. 20 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, while a northbound lane of I-75 will be closed between Ga. 20 and Hudson Bridge Road all weekend.

I-85, I-20 and I-285

Just north of downtown, up to three lanes of I-85 will be closed in each direction between the Brookwood Interchange and Ga. 400 beginning at 10 p.m. Sunday and continuing through 5 a.m. Monday.

Two westbound lanes of I-20 will be closed between Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Hamilton E. Holmes Drive and two eastbound lanes of I20 will be closed between I-285 and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive throughout the weekend.

Also on I-20, all eastbound and westbound lanes at Fulton Industrial Boulevard will be intermittently closed for utili- ty work between 7 and 9 a.m. Saturday.

On I-285, two northbound lanes will be closed all weekend between Camp Creek Parkway and Langford Parkway, while two southbound lanes will be closed between South Cobb Drive and I-85. All lanes of I-285 in both directions at Bolton Road will be closed at times between 7 and 9 a.m. Sunday for utility work.

On the east side Perimeter, up to three lanes of I285 in each direction between Chamblee Tucker Road and I-20 will be closed from 9 p.m. Saturday through 5 a.m. Monday.

Saturday likely a washout

Channel 2 meteorologist Karen Minton is forecasting a 100 percent chance of rain for Saturday and a 40 percent chance of rain on Sunday.

Saturday’s highs will be in the low 70s, but an approaching cold front will hold highs to the upper 50s on Sunday, Minton said.

Morning lows will be in the mid-60s Saturday and about 10 degrees cooler for Sunday.

Rain gear will come in handy for football fans headed to the University of Georgia’s noon home game against Kentucky, Kennesaw State University’s 1 p.m. game against Charleston Southern, and Morehouse College’s 2 p.m. matchup against Lane College.

The rain gear won’t be needed for Georgia State University’s 2 p.m. game against the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, which will be played in the Georgia Dome.

Veteran’s Day isn’t until Wednesday, but Atlanta’s annual Veteran’s Day Parade steps off at 11:11 a.m. Saturday at Peachtree and West Peachtree streets. The parade will travel south on Peachtree to Baker Street, west on Baker to Marietta Street and south on Marietta. Those streets will be closed from 10:35 a.m. until 1 p.m.
