Redesign Of Government Station Road/Experiment Station Road Intersection In Oconee County Includes Three Way Stop En Route

The straight cut through on Government Station Road from Hog Mountain Road to Experiment Station Road will be eliminated in the future as a result of a design change negotiated by Oconee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin Davis with the University of Georgia.

The current intersection of Government Station Road with Experiment Station Road will be eliminated in favor of a redesigned intersection across from the existing Bishop Farms Parkway.

The original design called for the existing Government Station road to curve and then straighten to match up with Bishop Farm Parkway.

The design negotiated by Davis will involve a three-way or T intersection across from the University of Georgia’s J. Phil Campbell Sr. Research and Education Center on Government Station Road.

The timing of the change is uncertain, depending on when the state decides to let the contract for the construction.
