Keith Bridge in Forsyth to close for culvert work

Keith Bridge Road (Ga. 306) in Forsyth County is scheduled to be closed on June 1 for the replacement of an underground culvert, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced.

GDOT construction partner Vertical Earth Inc. will block Keith Bridge at the intersection of Cantrell Circle and Burma Road.

A detour for northbound motorists will start at Ga. 306 and Ga. 369, with traffic directed west on Ga. 369 to Ga. 400, north on Ga. 400 to U.S. 53, and east on U.S. 53 back to Ga. 306. Southbound drivers will follow the same route in reverse.
