Part of Scott Rd. To Close For Now As Part of SR 17 Project

Stephens County officials say that part of Scott Road will be closed starting on Tuesday due the State Route 17 project.

County Administrator Phyllis Ayers received word of that from C.W. Matthews and the Georgia DOT last month.

Ayers says the county was not notified of a time frame for how long the closure would be in effect.

Crews are still working to construct a four-lane Georgia Highway 17 from the Stephens-Franklin County line to Memorial Drive in Toccoa.

The road is expected to be finished later this year.
