Wayside Street detour to continue through August

Wayside Street in Cornelia will remain off limits to thru traffic until August so crews can finish installing a new sewer line and storm drains.

Crews began work on the project on May 20. Currently, Wayside Street is closed from North Main to Hoyt Street. Traffic is being detoured to Galloway Street for vehicles attempting to get to Level Grove Road.

The road will remain closed and the detours will remain in place until the project is completed sometime in August, according to a press release from City Manager Dee Anderson. “We apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause as we continue to replace our very old and outdated infrastructure,” says Anderson.
