Georgia Department Of Transportation Picks Plan With Detour Route For New Apalachee River Bridge At High Shoals

***Bridge Links Oconee And Walton Counties***

While acknowledging citizen opposition to its plan, the Georgia Department of Transportation has decided that closing the SR 186 bridge over the Apalachee River at High Shoals and detouring traffic 15.8 miles around the construction of a replacement bridge is the preferred option.

The project is now in preliminary design stage, Mindy Sanders, GDOT project manager said Tuesday.
