Bridge outside Baldwin closed for emergency repairs

Habersham County Public Works officials have announced the emergency closure of the bridge over Little Mud Creek on Wilbanks Road outside Baldwin.

The emergency repairs will be made Wednesday morning, March 29, through the end of the day Thursday, March 30.

Crews will repair damage caused by erosion occurring under the road at the bridge abutment on the east side.

Barriers will be placed on both sides of the bridge and traffic will need to detour around it until the bridge is reopened once work is completed.

Creasy Patch Road and Alto-Mud Creek Road are recommended detour routes.

Drivers are reminded to heed all construction signs, barriers, and personnel during the work.
