Winder road to close for Bypass project

The Georgia DOT says Wilkins Road Southwest in Barrow County will close permanently later this month: the road goes away as part of a project to build a west Winder bypass. The closure date is set for April 9.

From Karen Huppertz, AJC…

Construction crews working with the Georgia Department of Transportation will permanently close Wilkins Road Southwest in Winder on April 9. Signs will be placed 5 days prior to the closure of Wilkins Road Southwest between Matthews School Road and the northernmost driveway at St. Matthew Catholic Church. This schedule may change depending on weather conditions.

Crews will need the road closure to continue work on the West Winder Bypass project.

This construction will realign Ga..211 over Ga. 8 and the railroad in Winder onto the existing Patrick Mill Road. The construction process will occur in three phases. This project was awarded to E.R. Snell Contractor, Inc. in August 2018 for approximately $59 million.
