Beginning Monday, July 19, Level Grove Road in Cornelia will be closed between Wayside Street and the Highway 441 Bypass. The city is temporarily closing the road to install a new sewer main.
The project is expected to take three to four weeks to complete.
In a statement announcing the closure earlier this month, Cornelia City Manager Dee Anderson apologized for the inconvenience.
“We know that Level Grove Road is one of our busiest streets, and we would not close the road if this project was not a necessity,” he said.
Level Grove Road provides easy access to downtown Cornelia from the bypass business district. Drivers will now have to use alternate routes such as Industrial Boulevard or Willingham Avenue/South Main Street to the south and Old Cleveland Road or Old Historic U.S. 441 to the north.
