(Demorest)- Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and contractor Wilson Construction Management weather permitting will temporarily shift traffic on State Route (SR) 115, between Cleveland and Clarkesville on Friday (2/23).  This is part of the project in the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of SR 105 and SR 115.

This operation will impact traffic in both directions on SR 115. There will be temporary pavement markings and message boards in place to direct traffic in both directions.

GDOT officials urge motorist to be alert and follow the temporary lane lines that have been marked on the pavement. The shift has been put in place to commence work on the next phase of the project.

Motorists are cautioned to reduce their speed while traveling throughout work zones, stay alert, and watch for workers.
