Single lane closures on State Route 53

Expect single lane closures on State Route 53 between Dogwood Trail and Little Hall Park overnight on Thurs. July 20 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The Georgia Department of Transportation says that concrete footings will be poured that will serve as supports for the substructure of the new bridge. The work will be done if the weather permits. GDOT asks you to slow down when approaching the work zone and drive alert while traveling through it.

The Bolling Bridge replacement project consists of .793 miles of construction for widening and realignment of State Route 53 beginning at Dogwood Path and extending east of the Chestatee River just a little before Little Hall Park, including construction of the bridge, and approaches over Chestatee (Lake Lanier). The project was awarded to Scott Bridge Company of Opelika, AL in March of 2016 and has a current completion date of March 2019. The $19.7 million project is 22 percent complete and will build a new bridge beside the current one. Once the construction of the new structure is complete, traffic will be moved to it, and the former bridge built in 1956 will be destroyed.
