Hall County's on-call contractors have begun work on the structural repairs to Claude Parks Road in North Hall, which was damaged and subsequently closed in floods earlier this year.
A culvert underneath the road was severely damaged in the heavy rains, resulting in a large void under the road and a slope failure. Though the road may have appeared safe to the naked eye, the damaged culvert presented a serious hazard to motorists.
Over the weekend, concrete was poured around the voids surrounding the pipe, and backfilling was underway Tuesday. Weather-permitting, crews should have the necessary repairs complete in three weeks.
