Stephens Road near Pipsissewa Drive in West Hall County may reopen later this week or early next week, as work is ending on a culvert replacement at Mud Creek. The road had been closed in that area since a May 19 flood washed out the culvert, leaving a gaping hole where a road had been. “We anticipate, weather holding, paving it (today),” Jody Woodall of the Hall County engineering department told a group of elected officials making up the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization’s policy committee meeting Tuesday.
