The heavily patched surface of the Dawsonville Highway bridge will soon get repaired. The $2.9 million project will remove the damaged driving surface and replace it. It will also reseal the bridge joints, paint the trusses, replace bearings and repair substructure spalling.
A start date hasn’t been set, but repairs are on the way for the Ga. 53/Dawsonville Highway westbound bridge over the Chattahoochee River portion of Lake Lanier. The $2.9 million project calls for replacing the damaged driving surface of the 59-year-old West Hall County bridge, a longtime sore spot for area drivers. Plans call for workers to close one lane at a time during repairs, which is set for completion June 30.
