Forsyth County Road Work This Week

GDOT maintenance crews schedule mowing in Forsyth County this week.

This week maintenance crews with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will be out and about in Forsyth County mowing sections of Highway 9 and Highway 369.

Most activities will require shoulder or median lane closures. Weather permitting, scheduled work hours are from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If emergency response is needed at a crash scene or if emergency repairs are necessary this schedule will change, according to the GDOT.

The GDOT asks you to be especially attentive and cautious as you pass through construction work zones, slow down and always driving responsibly.

Each day, hundreds of Georgia Department of Transportation employees and contractors work on dozens of highway, bridge and intersection improvements throughout the state. Their work often brings them and heavy machinery in close proximity to travel lanes.

Fifty-seven Georgia DOT personnel and many more motorists, passengers and contractors’ workers have been killed in highway work zone accidents since 1973.
