Orange construction barrels are scattered across 7 miles of Ga. 347 as road crews are taking advantage of the summer’s good weather to move along two separate widening efforts in what is Hall County’s biggest road project. With Ga. 347 newly widened to four and six lanes between Spout Springs Road and Ga. 211/Old Winder Highway, crews are busy grading and setting the six-lane width of the new road as it cuts between Interstate 985 and Spout Springs. “It’s a mess,” said longtime Friendship Road resident Chris Puckett.
