WINDER WORK PLAN THIS WEEK, WEATHER PERMITTING Winder, Ga. – Georgia DOT announces work planned overnights on SR 11/Broad Street in Winder this week for the installation of storm drain pipes if weather permits. A single southbound lane closure begins at 9 p.m. and continues to 6 a.m. the next day, tonight through Thursday night. These are the only overnight lane closures planned this week and will occur if weather cooperates. Daytime work includes removing and pouring new sidewalk and curb and gutter and will occur daily along SR 11/Broad Street between the railroad tracks (Head Games Salon) and Laura Street (Broad Street Finance). This 0.72 mile long project awarded to G.P.’s Enterprises of Statham for $4,949,306.21 with a completion date of July 31, 2014. The project will rebuild SR 11/Broad Street from the ground up, creating a stronger driving surface that will last decades. Enhancement work includes new sidewalks, curb and gutter, benches, lighting and landscaping. Each day, hundreds of Georgia Department of Transportation employees and contractors work on dozens of highway, bridge and intersection improvements throughout the state. Their work often brings them and heavy machinery in close proximity to travel lanes. Fifty-seven Georgia DOT personnel and many more motorists, passengers and contractors’ workers have been killed in highway work zone accidents since 1973. Please help us prevent these tragedies by slowing down; being especially attentive and cautious as you pass through construction work zones; and always driving responsibly. Safer Driving; Safer Work Zones; For Everyone. For more information on Georgia DOT, please visit dot.ga.gov or subscribe to our Press Release RSS feed.
