If you’re looking to enjoy the spring weather on Tanyard Creek, add some time to your drive.

A collapsed culvert near the Acworth boat ramp means the road will be closed at least two weeks, Bartow County roads director Joe Sutton said Monday.

The hole, which spans both lanes, was reported about midnight Friday.

The hole is about a half-mile from where Tanyard Creek Road Southeast meets Glade Road Southeast.

“It was just an old culvert that just failed,” Sutton said,” “probably age had a lot to do with it.”

He estimated the culvert was 30 years old.

Replacing the culvert requires custome pipe to be fashioned, which is why he thinks it’ll take at least two weeks.
