Fiddler Green Road reopens after double bridge replacements
What: Fiddler Green Road is open to traffic following completion of the second of two bridge replacements over Red Bluff Creek. Permanent striping still needs to be completed. Only one bridge was closed at a time to accommodate emergency vehicles and area businesses. The first bridge was completed in May 2026.

The old bridges were built in 1959 and 1965 and both were posted for load limits. They were replaced under the Georgia Department of Transportation's Low Impact Bridge Program. The program expedites the replacement and reopening of deficient, posted or closed bridges using streamlined delivery methods and off-site detours during construction. The construction contract is approximately $4.4 million.

Where: Fiddler Green Road, Atkinson County.

When: Opened to traffic Tuesday, Nov. 10.
