A bit of a snafu in design plans for the Lights Ferry connector project actually ended up bringing some good luck to both Flowery Branch and Norfolk Southern. “There was an error made in ... the original survey of the project, that basically put a stormwater drainage structure three feet below the ground rather than emptying out on the ground,” City Manager Bill Andrew explained at Thursday’s City Council meeting. The original design of the Lights Ferry connector project didn’t have construction crews going onto the railroad right-of-way, but this new information will require that.
