Crews are removing asphalt in the closed section of Tesnatee Gap Valley Road.
Cleveland, Ga. –Crews have closed Tesnatee Gap Valley Road at its intersection with State Route 115. Approximately 500 feet of Tesnatee Gap Valley Road closest to the intersection with SR 155 is now closed to traffic for the grade of Tesnatee Gap Valley Road to be raised about 8 feet. The maximum time for the closure is 15 days, the intersection should reopen by July 28.
“Crews are already removing the asphalt in the closed section of Tesnatee Gap Valley Road. There is a significant grade change needed there between Tesnatee Gap Valley and the new State Route 115. Traffic cannot continue to use the roadway as the work occurs. The signed detour route is 3.6 miles long and will direct continue on SR 115 since it can’t access Tesnatee Gap Valley Road to Wilford Ash Senior Parkway then to State Route 11/US 129 to the northern end of Tesnatee Gap Valley Road. Thank you for your patience as this work occurs,” explained Harold Mull, Georgia DOT District Construction Engineer.
The contract to build Phase One the Cleveland Bypass in White County was awarded to Sunbelt Structures, Inc. of Tucker. This 1.97 mile long project begins at Hope Drive at US 129/SR 11 and extends northwest to SR 115.
