Canongate Road will be closed through early August at Persimmon Creek in northeast Coweta County. A faulty culvert will be replaced where Canongate Road crosses Persimmon Creek, just south of the entrance of Persimmon Creek subdivision.    

Message boards have been placed on Canongate Road to notify the public of this closure. The detour route has been established along Palmetto-Tyrone Road, Weldon Road and Collinsworth Road. A temporary 3-way traffic signal has been placed at Palmetto-Tyrone and Weldon Roads to help deal with the additional traffic caused by the detour. The signal became operational on May 26.

It is expected that this project will take approximately 10 weeks to complete, weather permitting.
