The Oconee County Board of Commissioners has put on its agenda for its meeting next Tuesday (May 5) discussion of the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plans for a truck bypass linking SR 15 and U.S. 441 south of Watkinsville.
The Board took this action at its Agenda Setting meeting on Tuesday (April 28) after citizens appeared before the Board asking it to oppose the current plans, which include three alternate routes for the bypass, none of which follows existing roadways and all of which would cut through undeveloped properties and farmland.
