State Route 17/75 near Top of Georgia Air Stream Park

(HELEN) -On Monday, June 18, 2018 Georgia DOT maintenance crews out of the Cleveland area office will detour drivers on State Route 17/75 for installation of a new drainage structure.

A detour route will be in place between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.

During the recent flash flood, the pipe was damaged. Georgia DOT is taking this opportunity to replace and upsize the pipe. The location of this repair is near the Top of Georgia Airstream Park, the closest milepost to the work is milepost 11.4.

The detour route will guide traffic around this repair work by way of State Route 180 to State Route 348 then to State Route 75 Alternate. This detour will position motorists back on State Route 17/75.  Tractor trailers will be directed by flagging operators to State Route 11 instead of State Route 348. 

Please drive alert as our workers will be in the lanes directing traffic.
