The Masters will take place at Augusta National next week.

The Georgia Department of Transportation will suspend lane closures through April 14, since traffic is going to be much heavier than normal.

All Georgia DOT projects in Columbia and Richmond Counties will have lane closure restrictions. Additionally, projects on major state routes leading to Augusta in Burke, Emanuel, Jefferson, Jenkins, and McDuffie Counties will be affected.”
