Level Grove Road reopened eight weeks after it initially closed, just in time for the City of Cornelia’s Big Red Apple Festival. While locals are finally enjoying the use of the road that connects Downtown Cornelia to the rest of the city, they’ll have to wait a little longer to go back to using the road regularly. Cornelia City Manager Dee Anderson reports that next week, the road will close again for another month.
The road was closed to replace the sewer main and install drainage right across from the Peaks of Cornelia apartments, but construction was delayed when the contractor working on the road discovered several water lines that the city was unaware of.
“The second closure is to allow the contractor to complete the installation of the sewer and storm [drainage] piping,” Anderson said at the city’s Tuesday night meeting.
Now that those lines have been discovered and taken care of, the city needs to finish the project the road was originally closed for. The road will close again on Monday, Oct. 11.
