The planned widening of Ga. 347/Friendship Road from Interstate 985 to Ga. 211/Old Winder Highway has hit a slight delay. Like the Cleveland Bypass earlier this year, the long-awaited project must overcome last-minute environmental concerns. In awarding bids for several North Georgia projects, the Georgia Department of Transportation balked on the Ga. 347 project pending the Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s “concurrence on the final project plans,” said Teri Pope, spokeswoman for the DOT’s District 1, which includes Hall County.
