CLEVELAND - Finishing work is continuing on the first phase of the Appalachian Parkway/Cleveland Bypass, ahead of its opening in about three weeks.
On Thursday, crews were installing traffic signals at the intersection of Highway 115 west of Cleveland.
Also on Thursday, GDOT officials activated information signs at both entrances to the parkway advising motorist that the bypass will open Nov. 20, weather permitting.
On Friday, paving crews were laying down the smooth top service on Highway 115 West leading up to the parkway.
Some additional paving and finishing work is needed before the road will be ready for that opening date.
Motorists are reminded to slow down in the work zone areas and to use extra caution when the first phase of the roadway opens for public use.
