Traffic is split on Ga. 347/Friendship Road as part of a Georgia Department of Transportation widening project.Motorists now can travel in one lane on each side of the median between Spout Springs Road and Williams Road. The new travel arrangement “gives the contractor room to finish building the new concrete median,” District Engineer Brent Cook said. “After median work is finished, crews will start laying the top layer of asphalt.”
