Jerry Jackson Bridge being inspected for potential repairs
0315bridge
Road crew members inspect the underside of the Jerry Jackson Bridge on Dawsonville Highway looking for whether repairs need to be done.
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.
