The Georgia Department of Transportation has added stop signs on the detour in Jefferson to State Route 335. The detour will now operate as a four-way stop at the intersection of Kissam Street/State Route 15 ALT and the newly constructed connector bridge.
“We are responding to concerns from local citizens. These added stop signs are the safest operation,” said Brent Cook, District Engineer with the Georgia Department of Transportation. “We will also add advance warning signage to alert drivers of the new stop sign installation and emphasize the need to now stop at that intersection.”
The detour is part of a project to reconstruct SR15ALT/SR 82, Kissam Street and Storey Street as a one-way pair. The new four-way stop signs will remain in place through late Sept. Drivers are reminded to reduce speeds and use caution while near the work zone.
