Daniells Bridge Road To Be Closed 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Saturday

Daniells Bridge Road will be closed to through traffic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday for construction at the bridge over Barber Creek of the terminus of a new sewer line.

The construction on Saturday is unrelated to the ongoing construction along Daniells Bridge Road of a new gas line. That construction has resulted in periodic one-way traffic on the road.

On Saturday, barricades will be set up at Natalie Drive/Birchmore Drive on the north and Downs Creek subdivision on the south, and no traffic will be allowed beyond those points during the construction hours.

A heavy crane will be lifting into place the base of a reservoir just below the bridge on the bank of Barber Creek, according to Adam Layfield, engineer with the Oconee County Water Resources Department.

Out of safety concerns, no traffic is being allowed near the construction site, he said.

Message boards at both ends of Daniells Bridge Road will inform drivers of the road closure.
