 ROAD DELAYS - Skelton Road 9/1/2010 PSI will have a boring crew working on Skelton Road on Thursday, September 2, 2010 from 9:30 to 1:00. Motorists should expect some delays. The PSI project engineer is Jeff Hamm (678) 779-0343. ROAD CLOSURE - Oakwood Road intersection closed for 90 days beginning July 27 7/27/2010 OAKWOOD, GA – The Georgia Department of Transportation announces a road closure as part of the construction of Thurmon Tanner Parkway beginning Tuesday, if weather permits. The new 1.32 mile long four lane divided highway, Thurmon Tanner Parkway phase three, is under construction from State Route 53 to Plainview Road. The project includes reconstruction of Oakwood Road as it intersects the new roadway. Oakwood Road must be lowered several feet to improve sight distance at the new intersection. Oakwood Road will also be widened to accommodate right and left turn lanes in both directions onto and off of Thurmon Tanner Parkway. A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersections. It will become operational as Thurmon Tanner opens for use. “While Oakwood Road is closed to traffic, the grade of the intersection will be lowered. A new drainage system will be installed. New right turn lanes and left turn lanes will be created and preliminary work for the new traffic signal will be installed. We have been working at the intersection over the last month to get as much work done as possible before the intersection closes to traffic. By contract, the area can stay closed for 90 days but we hope it is much sooner than that! You will still be able to use each side of Oakwood Road. Just remember you will not be able to use the section that meets Thurmon Tanner Road so you must approach your destination without the need to cross the work zone,” explained DOT Construction Engineer, Randall Davis. The detour route for Oakwood Road traffic east of Thurmon Tanner Parkway is State Route 53/Mundy Mill Road to Mundy Mill Drive to Oakwood Road. The detour route for Oakwood Road traffic west of Thurmon Tanner Parkway is State Route 53 to Old Oakwood Road to Oakwood Road. This 1.32 mile project is 35% complete. The completion date for the road work is December 31, 2010. Georgia DOT urges travelers to call 511 for updated information about this or any other construction project on interstates and state routes. Georgia 511 is a free phone service that provides real-time traffic and travel information statewide, such as traffic conditions, incidents, lane closures, and delays due to inclement weather. Callers also can transfer to operators to request assistance or report incidents 24 hours a day, seven days a week. More information is available at www.511ga.org. The Georgia Department of Transportation is committed to providing a safe, seamless and sustainable transportation system that supports Georgia’s economy and is sensitive to both its citizens and its environment. Additional transportation revenues are imperative to grow and sustain Georgia's economic vitality and quality of life through the 21st Century. Georgia is the 3rd fastest-growing state in the nation, yet 49th in per capita spending on transportation. ROAD CLOSURE - Elizabeth Lane 6/30/2010 Elizabeth Lane will be closed to thru traffic beginning Wednesday, July 7, weather permitting. This closure is due to construction of the Spout Springs Road /Elizabeth Lane realignment. For more information, please contact Jody Woodall at (770) 531-6800. |
