The first phase of construction involves a portion of Lumpkin Campground Road to be closed for removal and installation of a CONTECH arch culvert system. This closure will occur between August 10 - October 6, 2021 (weather permitting). All utility relocation has been completed and construction may start for the proposed roundabout. A traffic detour plan was submitted by Vertical Earth for review and approval. The detour plan was reviewed by Dawson County Public Works, Forsyth County as well as GDOT. Once comments, recommendations and revisions were approved, message boards were installed in the locations of the approved detour plan to allow citizens two weeks notice. Vertical Earth will provide additional detour signs will be added prior to the closing.
