A bridge replacement project in Chattooga County will soon impact local traffic, according to a notice from the Georgia Department of Transportation.

The project involves replacing the existing SR 114 triple arch bridge over Mossy Creek with a new structure approximately 95 feet in length. The total project area, including roadway improvements, will span about 2,200 feet.

During construction, traffic will be rerouted using an off-site detour. Drivers traveling along Foster Street will be directed along SR 114, Tennessee Avenue, and Chattooga Avenue. The detour is expected to add between 0.16 and 0.24 miles to normal travel routes.

The detour was officially approved on March 26, 2026. Construction is expected to take approximately 12 months to complete.

The project is located just west and east of the current bridge site, with work extending roughly 1,230 feet west and 870 feet east of the structure.

Project plans are available for public inspection through the Georgia Department of Transportation. For additional information, residents can contact GDOT Area Manager Joel Dillingham in Rome.
