Work is set to begin this week on the addition of a new bridge on the Appalachian Parkway north of Cleveland.

Beginning Tuesday, November 29, the Georgia Department of Transpiration will implement a traffic shift in the area of the White County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center to install the new bridge which should have been part of the parkway’s original design.

The shift is expected to remain in place for approximately nine months, or until the bridge is complete. Drivers should expect delays and exercise caution when traveling through the work zone.

The department of transportation encourages drivers who often travel that route to follow the Georgia DOT-Northeast social media pages on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-date announcements regarding this project.
