The bridge replacement project on Welcome Hill Road is now complete.

Chattooga County Public Works Director Joe Reed informed us that it was a state mandated project, with the new structure being installed for the long-term safety of all those traveling over that span.

The bridge is located just past the Chattooga River tributary on Welcome Hill Road and that work was actually finished a bit ahead of schedule.

Reed said he greatly appreciates the patience of the public while the work was being done.
