Despite being wracked by bad weather, one of Northeast Georgia’s biggest road projects — the Cleveland Bypass — is on track for a Dec. 31 completion. Still, “weather has slowed work on the Cleveland Bypass since construction began,” said Teri Pope, the Georgia Department of Transportation’s district spokeswoman. Some 100 inches of rain fell on the project last year, or an average of 8-plus inches per month, and 5.55 inches fell in January and February, Pope said.
