MACON, Ga. — People who commute or travel on Hartley Bridge Road no longer have to deal with a lane closure.

According to a news release, crews completed repairs on the overpass around noon Thursday and removed the barriers to the eastbound lanes and exit to I-75N.

In all, it took crews seven weeks to complete the project.

The repairs were needed after a semi-truck hit the overpass in March.

Five beams under the eastbound lanes needed to be replaced, which caused 25% of the deck concrete to be repoured.

While the eastbound lanes were closed for repairs, westbound lanes were undamaged and safe to travel on.
