U.S. 41 traffic shifting to new bridge near Cartersville

Traffic lanes of U.S. 41 in the north Cartersville area of Bartow County shift next week to a newly constructed bridge over Pettit Creek, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced.

The change is scheduled for the overnight hours starting at 7 p.m. Friday, May 17, for U.S. 41 between Massell Drive SE and the bridge, GDOT said.

Traffic will be moved onto the final alignment for this part of a project, roughly a mile long, to widen U.S. 41 and reconstruct its interchange with U.S. 411.
