Expect more lane closings along Talbotton/Warm Springs this week

Utility work continues along the Warm Springs/Talbotton corridor this week, which will cause some lanes to be closed, the Georgia Department of Transportation announced.

Contractors are scheduled to work daily from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. each day this week.

Weather permitting; contractors will be installing a lane closure to continue the installation of a water line along the eastbound shoulder at the intersection of 12^th Street and Warm Springs Road and a sewer line under the westbound lane of Warm Springs Road between 35^th Street and Calvin Drive.

Motorists should be alert to trucks entering and exiting the roadway between Center Street and North Avenue as construction of a concrete wall continues along the eastbound shoulder.

The project will reconstruct Talbotton/Warm Springs Road from two-lanes to four-lanes with a raised median, sidewalks, and curb and gutter. The project begins at the intersection of Talbotton Road and 7^th Avenue, follows the existing alignment and terminates just beyond the intersection of Warm Springs Road and Woodruff Road/Hilton Avenue.
