City of Cornelia to resume work on Level Grove sidewalk

After a four-month delay, construction is set to resume on the Level Grove Sidewalk and Drainage Project in Cornelia. Crews from Higgins Construction are scheduled to be back on the work site today, weather permitting. They’ll complete the project from where work left off in November 2017, just before Slayton Street to the intersection of Wayside Street.

The city says the project was delayed until after Valentine’s Day at the request of L& D Florist. “The contractor has been trying to resume working since February 19th but the weather has not cooperated,” a news release states.

The city asks that motorists use caution and pay attention to the road closure and detour signs. L&D Florist will remain open. Customers will be able to access the business from either Wayside Street or the downtown side of Level Grove Road.
