Cannon Road will close for bridge replacement
The Newnan Times-Herald
The Cannon Road bridge over White Oak Creek is set to be closed starting Feb. 15 for work on a new bridge financed by federal stimulus funds.
The bridge will be closed until about Nov. 30, when the new bridge is set to be complete.
Replacement of the bridge is being funded through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The steel and timber bridge will be replaced with a 264-foot long concrete bridge, which will be wider than the existing bridge, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The bridge is located northeast of the Moreland town limits.
According to the DOT, motorists on the west side of White Oak Creek can detour along Moore Road to Ga. Hwy. 16. Motorists on the eastern end of the bridge can take Tope Road or Little Road to access Hwy. 16.
Detour rotes will be clearly marked throughout the project limits, said Kimberly Larson, DOT spokeswoman.
