JEFFERSON - Georgia DOT announces Storey Street in downtown Jefferson will be rebult "from the ground up" between Sycamore Street/SR 15 to Clay Drive and will be closed Saturday through 11:00 p.m. Monday, Feb. 16.<br />
<br />
Officials say the Civic Center can be accessed using Sycamore/SR 82 to Kissam Street. The detour route for accessing Storey Street will use Martin Street to Cooley Avenue to Storey Street.<br />
<br />
"Storey Street will be removed and rebuilt from the dirt up. The current roadway is not up to standards. By closing the road around the clock, we hope to minimize impact to the Community. Signs alerting motorists of the detour are up now and detour route signs will go up as Storey Street is closed. Thank you for your understanding as this detour occurs," explained Harold Mull, Georgia DOT District Construction Engineer.<br />
<br />
This work is part of the project in Jefferson to rebuild the intersection of SR 15 Alternate and SR 82, create a one-way pair of parallel streets along Kissam and Storey streets, build a new bridge over Big Curry Creek and a new multi-use trail in Big Curry Creek Park. The project completion date is August 31, 2016.
