Press release from Walton County: October 7, 2020 Posted on: October 7, 2020 Bridge Replacement on State Route (SR) 83 over Polecat Creek In keeping with Governor Brian Kemp's directive to keep state government agencies functioning as Georgia combats the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia DOT is moving forward by placing project information for review and feedback into an internet platform to comply with social distancing and avoiding crowds of 10+ people. We appreciate your participation in this process. Georgia DOT has posted information related to the proposed Bridge Replacement on State Route (SR) 83 over Polecat Creek at http://www.dot.ga.gov/AboutGDOT/PublicOutreach. This project proposes to replace the existing bridge on SR 83 over Polecat Creek in Walton County, Georgia. This project is needed because the existing bridge is deteriorating and does not meet current structural design standards. The bridge would be replaced on existing alignment and would require a 38-mile offsite detour for approximately 45 days during construction. Georgia DOT is seeking feedback about the proposed project and offsite detour. The purpose of this internet posting is to replace an in-person meeting, while allowing the public to review the proposed project, provide feedback, or write in with questions.
