Watkinsville, Ga. – Crews are scheduled to pave today flagging traffic and using a pilot car from SR316 across the new Barber Creek to Crooked Creek Drive. Delays are expected today.

Please avoid the area today if possible," explained Brent Cook, Georgia DOT District Engineer serving Oconee County.

The new road will have four lanes that are 12 feet wide with a 20 feet wide grassy median. It will also have bike lanes and a sidewalk in each direction. As part of the project, a new bridge will be built over Barber Creek, replacing the existing bridge was built in 1944.

I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
