Georgia Power has reopened I-285 in both directions due to power lines hanging across the interstate. 

All lanes were closed northbound of I-285 from Camp Creek to Langford Parkway and southbound from Langford Pkwy/Campbellton Rd/SR 166 (exit 5) to Camp Creek Pkwy/SR 6 (exit 2) due to utility work in the area.

Officials expected the road work to last until 6 a.m., but it finished up around 5 a.m.
