DeKalb County Schedules Emergency Rehab of River Road Bridge

DECATUR, Ga. – Construction and rehabilitation of the River Road Bridge over Conley Creek will begin Dec. 19, 2016 until Jan. 31, 2017. The bridge was severely damaged during a traffic accident earlier this year.

An inspection by Georgia Department of Transportation determined that the rehabilitation is necessary for the safety of motorists. DeKalb County has hired an engineering firm to design and repair the bridge. During the construction period, a section of River Road will close for safety reasons. Detours will be posted to give motorists alternate routes.

For more information, contact Terrance Simpkins, senior staff engineer at 404-294-2040.
