Portion of W. Currahee Street Will Close Thursday

A part of West Currahee Street will be closed Thursday for repairs.

Stephens County County Clerk Beth Rider tells WNEG News that the Stephens County Board of Commissioners has decided to close a portion of the road to all traffic near 4989 W. Currahee Street.

This closure is due to the possibility of a slope failure that could impact the existing roadbed, utilities, and drainage structures.

Signs will direct motorists around the work zone while crews make repairs.

Rider said it is unclear how long the repairs will take. Motorists are asked to avoid the area if possible or use caution.

WNEG News will provide updates as more information becomes available.
