Georgia Department of Transportation and its contractor, C. W. Matthews, are announcing the closure of State Route (SR) 74 south of State Route 54 for three weekends beginning Friday, June 1, at 10 p.m. Cross drains will be installed in three weekends starting on Friday, June 1, at 10 p.m. using a continuous operation with SR 74 reopening no later than Monday at 6 a.m. for each weekend. Further, C.W. Matthews plans to start the first crossing the weekend of June 1, 2007 and working each consecutive weekend for three weeks, June 1, June 8 and June 15.

Two detailed Traffic Control Plans outlining the proposed detour routes, and all the necessary signage and traffic control devices will be provided. Message boards will be placed at each end of the detour in advance and during the actual detours. (Message: SR 74 will be closed this weekend. Be prepared to Detour and Caution SR 74 Detour Ahead)

Traffic Signal personnel will be on hand to make any necessary adjustments to existing signals to insure traffic is not unduly interrupted.

Georgia Department of Transportation appreciates your patience and cooperation during this construction time. We realize that State Route 74 is a highly traveled route and important to Peachtree City residents. Widening of SR 74 is in full swing and progressing well.
