DOT plans to build new home for osprey as part of Boling Bridge project
0324osprey2
The Georgia Department of Transportation plans to build a new home for ospreys in tandem with upcoming bridge roadwork on Dawsonville Highway at the Hall-Forsyth county line.
Transportation plans usually affect humans, not a federally protected bird of prey. But, it’s both in the case of the green Boling Bridge, or the Dawsonville Highway crossing from Hall County into Forsyth County. As part of its plans to replace the bridge, which spans the Chestatee River arm of Lake Lanier, the Georgia Department of Transportation will take down the current structure, which features an overhead truss system.
