GAINESVILLE - The Georgia Department of Transportation says another milestone is expected to be reached Tuesday in the widening of State Route 347/Friendship Road. That's when traffic will be split, using one lane on each side of the median from Spout Springs Road to Williams Road.
“Please focus on driving and slow down in the work zone especially as this change occurs. Splitting traffic allowing one lane to run on each side of the median gives the contractor room to finish building the new concrete median. After median work is finished, crews will start laying the top layer of asphalt,” explained Brent Cook, Georgia DOT District Engineer serving Hall County.
The 7.97-mile project is scheduled for completion by January 12, 2016.
