Hall County is considering whether to close part of a dirt and gravel road that links two major South Hall roads in response to resident concerns about dumping in the area. Public hearings are set for Sept. 11 and Sept. 25 before the Hall County Board of Commissioners on whether to close a 1,200-foot section of Beards Road, which connects New Bethany Road to Ga. 347/Lanier Islands Parkway. “If it’s in the public interest (to close the road) and we can get the right of way, then we probably would install a cul-de-sac,” said Jody Woodall, a Hall County civil engineer who manages county road projects.
