The Georgia Department of Transportation has notified the City of Douglas that contractors are scheduled to begin work the week of March 2, 2020 on pavement preservation and repair that will help maintain state routes and improve riding quality in Coffee, Crisp and Tift counties.
Maintenance will require lane closures on some busy routes and motorists should be alert for changing traffic patterns in these areas. All work is scheduled to start Monday, March 2, but the date could change depending on weather.
In Douglas a contractor will be removing asphalt at the intersection of State Route (SR) 206 and SR 32 and replacing it with concrete. Concrete holds up well against the braking and idling of large trucks, which create ruts in asphalt. There are no restrictions on when the contractor is permitted to work. The scheduled completion date is April 18, 2020.
