The Georgia Department of Transportation announced on May 21 that the west bridge on Fiddler Green Road in Atkinson County is scheduled to open, while the east bridge will close for construction. Both changes are planned for Wednesday, May 27, though the date may change due to weather or other factors.

This update affects local travel and access along Fiddler Green Road. The project is part of ongoing efforts by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) to maintain infrastructure and ensure safe transportation routes across the state.

GDOT delivers transportation solutions that support economic development and benefit residents across Georgia, according to the official website. The department employs about 4,000 staff members with an operating budget over $4.5 billion. GDOT focuses on developing and maintaining roadways while also supporting rail, transit, and other transportation programs. It operates under the State Transportation Board and serves the entire state through its transportation network. GDOT works with local governments and federal agencies to advance transportation efforts, according to the official website.

For questions about this project or updates regarding scheduling changes due to weather or other factors, residents are advised to contact Nita Birmingham at GDOT.
