If you travel State Route 17 Alternate into Toccoa, prepare for delays. The Georgia Department of Transportation will close one lane of traffic near Stephens County Hospital as part of a bridge replacement project over Toccoa Creek
Crews will install the road closure near the hospital and Toccoa Falls College on March 10; it’s expected to remain closed for 30 to 60 days.
Northbound traffic will be shifted to the right before Hansen Road, ending just past Hospital Road, according to transportation officials. The speed limit will be reduced from 45 to 35 MPH in the work zone.
The bridge work is scheduled to be completed in November, weather permitting.
