The Georgia Department of Transportation is advising motorists in
Floyd County of night road closures on State Route (SR) 1
Loop/Redmond Road at Elm Street in Rome, scheduled for Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 7, 8 and 9, 2010. SR 1 Loop will
be closed to traffic every night from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m., to
accommodate work on the sewage system at that location. Traffic
will be detoured off Redmond Road onto Elm Street. This utility
operation and the road closures it necessitates are weather
permitting and subject to change.
`Georgia DOT wants to constrict traffic flow in this area as
little as possible, but delays at times are almost unavoidable,`
said Kent Sager, district engineer at the DOT office in
Cartersville. `We have made every effort to minimize the impact
this utility work has on the heavy traffic in the area.
Informing the public in advance of this operation; working at
night; and scheduling the road closures after the evening rush
hour, and reopening the roadway before the morning rush hour
are only a few examples of these efforts,` he added.
