Road work on GA 197 north of Clarkesville, which was scheduled to take place Sunday, June 9, has been postponed.
“The maintenance absolutely will take place; however, certain things need to be put in place in advance,” explains Georgia Department of Transportation Communications Officer Elizabeth Johnson.
She says, in all likelihood, the work will take place next weekend, weather permitting.
DOT crews will replace a pipe underneath the road at GA 197 and Watts Mill Road.
A DOT road sign near Pitts Park in Clarkesville stirred confusion. Many mistook the sign for an indication that the highway near the park would be closed for repairs.
