Road closures in Athens, Jackson Co

It’s a heads-up for drivers in Athens: Rutherford Street between Smith Street and Pinecrest Drive closes today and for most of the rest of the month. Crews are repaving Rutherford. It’s work that is scheduled to be completed by July 28.

The Georgia DOT is scheduled to begin work today in Jackson County: work to replace a culvert beneath State Route 11 will close a stretch of that roadway in Jefferson for the next three months. The DOT says a detour—nearly 15 miles long—takes traffic from 11 to US 129 and State Route 82 back to Highway 11. 11 is scheduled for reopening by the middle of October.
