Henry County officials are planning for close Lake Dow Road between Allie Drive and Monroe Drive, at the east end of Georgia National Country Club, for several months for necessary repair work.

The actual construction will involve raising Lake Dow Road a minimum of four feet and will take 3-4 months to complete (depending on weather). Engineering design is expected to be completed by the end of August. Officials said that at this time it is unclear how long it will take to get the final approval and awarding of construction bids, which could mean it may be late winter or next spring before the road reopens.

The county will host neighborhood informational meetings expected to begin around mid-August.
