SR 109 Closed Near Meansville Due to Flooding

What:         State Route 109 near Meansville is closed due to flooding that has eroded the inlet approaches to the bridge over Gola Creek. The bridge is structurally sound and has not been topped by water. However, increased water flow has caused the embankments on both ends of the bridge to begin to erode. Georgia Department of Transportation crews are on scene assessing the damage and will determine how to proceed with repairs. GDOT estimates the road in that area will be closed for five days.

Where:         SR 109 about one mile east of Meansville, bridge over Gola Creek. The road is closed between mileposts 14 and 18. Suggested alternate routes are U.S. 19/SR 3 and SR 18.
