Two years ago, temporary repairs were made to the westbound bridge on Ga. 53/Dawsonville Highway crossing the Chattahoochee River portion of Lake Lanier. The Georgia Department of Transportation is working to develop a more lasting solution, one that may extend beyond the ever-cracking driving surface. Using a piece of equipment known as a “snooper” that can carry a person under the structure, workers are examining the bridge top to bottom.
