East Broad Street Bridge, Road Closure Starts Sept. 18

The East Broad Street Bridge and surrounding roads were initially set to close Monday morning on Sept. 17, but due to weather concerns, there was a minor delay in closing preparations and installments.  The Athens Clarke-County Government says the bridge will be closed by Sept. 18.

The bridge and approaching roads are expected to be closed for seven to 10 days for a maintenance project through Suncoast Restorations. The affected roads are East Broad Street, Willow Street, and Dr. Martin Luther King Pkwy.

Athens Clarke-County Government plans to provide updates on the bridge rehabilitation project through social media.
