Work is rolling along on Ga. 347/Lanier Islands Parkway after paving began Friday. The construction is part of an $11.6 million project that calls for a four-lane divided highway between McEver Road/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Interstate 985. The paving will tie into newly built lanes, and once completed, traffic will be shifted so existing lanes can be reworked.
