Resurfacing on Interstate 20 in Rockdale and Newton counties, and concrete replacement on the west side of I-285 have been canceled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

GDOT said it plans to move ahead with scheduled resurfacing on I-20 between Douglasville and Villa Rica, as it is very close to finishing the work -- well ahead of its projected November completion date. However, rain may briefly halt crews.

(ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE) -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to establish a public database in Atlanta of the bacteria Bacullus anthracis, which cause the deadly disease anthrax.

The agency has published a request-for-quote to hire a contractor for the project.

The move comes just weeks after the CDC made world headlines when 75 workers at its Atlanta campus were treated for possible exposure to anthrax.
