A historic iron bridge over Armuchee Creek in Floyd County is closed this week as crews replace its wooden deck.
Floyd County Public Works closed the single-lane bridge on Little Texas Valley Road beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, October 12. Repairs are expected to be completed by 4 p.m. Thursday, October 15, weather and construction conditions permitting.
The bridge is located between U.S. Highway 27, also known as Martha Berry Highway, and Scenic Road, near the Armuchee Post Office.
Motorists can use Scenic Road as an alternate route to and from Highway 27 North. Drivers should follow any posted detour signs and allow additional travel time.
No vehicles will be permitted to cross the bridge during the repairs.
