Georgia DOT’s maintenance crews will repair the deteriorating asphalt spots on SR 2, SR 52, and SR 282 in Gilmer County; SR 225 and SR 282 in Murray County; and SR 6 in Polk County. Work will proceed daily from Tuesday, Aug. 7 to Friday, Aug. 10 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., weather permitting.

Each day, hundreds of Georgia Department of Transportation employees and contractors work on dozens of highway, bridge and intersection improvements throughout the state.

Their work often brings them and heavy machinery in close proximity to travel lanes. Fifty-seven Georgia DOT personnel and many more motorists, passengers and contractors’ workers have been killed in highway work zone accidents since 1973.

Please help us prevent these tragedies by slowing down; being especially attentive and cautious as you pass through construction work zones; and always driving responsibly. Safer Driving; Safer Work Zones for Everyone.

As the end of summer and a new school year draw near, dozens of important roadway infrastructure improvement projects continue throughout the state. Keeping Georgia’s transportation network the nation’s finest requires continual investment and maintenance. Pardon us for this necessary inconvenience and please drive cautiously in work zones and safely at all times.
