Highway construction projects throughout Georgia will be scaled back, halting related lane closures on all Interstate and major system highways, through Monday to ease traffic congestion during the holiday weekend, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced.

Beginning at 5 a.m. Friday and ending 10 p.m. Monday, there will be no scheduled lane closures on any Georgia interstate highway or primary state route.

The department said that some road work may continue on lesser-traveled state and local system roads and that emergency maintenance -related lane closures could become necessary on any route.

It’s not a stretch to say, though, that this one game is the most critical regular season game of Dan Quinn’s tenure as head coach. Since beating the Los Angeles Rams in the 2017 playoffs, the Falcons have gone 7-11. That stretch began with a loss at Philadelphia in the second round. It included an uninspiring and frustrating 7-9 finish last year — which began, by the way, with another loss at Philly.
