A portion of Oconee Street near downtown will close late this month and stay closed for about 30 days while the Georgia Department of Transportation makes repairs.
Oconee Street between East Broad and Foundry streets and Foundry Street between Oconee and East Broad could close as soon as June 21, depending on weather. Workers will be replacing a 130-year-old culvert near the Farmer’s Exchange building.
GDOT said it planned to wrap up most of the work by Aug. 17. In the meantime, truck drivers are advised to use the Loop and Milledge Avenue as a detour, while car drivers can find their own way around.
