Eyes on the Road: Rainfall delays Ga. 347 work
Placeholder Image
This year’s deluge of rain has pushed off by nearly six months the completion date of the Ga. 347 widening between Interstate 985 and Ga. 211/Old Winder Highway. The completion date has been moved to Jan. 10, 2016, from July 31, 2015, said Teri Pope, district spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Transportation. “It seems as the contractor started work in October 2012, the rains began and have continued sporadically since then,” Pope said.
