Last Friday, Chattooga County Commissioner Andy Allen announced the closure of Fullerton Road due to a bridge washout caused by recent heavy rainfall. The Chattooga County Public Works Department issued a warning to drivers, advising them not to attempt crossing the affected area, urging residents to take alternative routes.  Plans are to begin repairs to the bridge today, but more rain over the weekend has seen rising water levels in area creeks and rivers which could hamper those plans. Fullerton Road, located in a remote part of Chattooga County, connects the Holland Chattoogaville Road outside of Lyerly to the Alabama state line, where it transitions into Cherokee County Road 80.  The washed out bridge was over a small tributary that flows into the Chattooga River in the southeastern part of the county.
