Work to replace a culvert underneath State Route 11 in Jeffereson has been postponed until the middle of June. When work resumes it will close the roadway to traffic for 90 days.
A 14.7 mile detour that utilizes only state routes will be in effect while the 1938 drainage structure is replaced. The detour will allow construction to move faster, and cost less than if a temporary lane was built for traffic during construction.
Traffic will be routed from State Route 11/U.S. 129 in Jefferson to State Route 82 to State Route 211 and back to State Route 11/U.S. 129.
This project was awarded to E.R. Snell of Snellville, and will replace the 50-foot triple barrel bridge culvert with a 100-foot double barrel bridge culvert.
