A bridge on United States 441 Business/State Route 29 Business at Fishing Creek in Milledgeville, Georgia, is set to close for approximately nine months starting the week of May 12, 2025. This closure is part of a bridge replacement project managed by a contractor from the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The current bridge, constructed in 1949, no longer meets modern design standards. During the construction period, drivers are encouraged to take alternative routes. The official detour will direct traffic from US 441 Business south to US 441, then north to SR 49, and east to Milledgeville.
The commencement of this closure may be adjusted based on weather conditions. The contractor plans to initiate the closure when dry conditions are forecasted.
Motorists should anticipate delays and are advised to drive cautiously near the construction area. They should remain vigilant and reduce speed while traveling through the work zone. For real-time updates on traffic conditions and work progress, drivers can call 511, visit 511ga.org, or use the Georgia 511 app.
