AUGUSTA: Washout under SR 56, GDOT setting up lane closures

AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Georgia Department of Transportation is closing both northbound lanes of State Route 56/Mike Padgett Highway at Butler Creek, about one mile south of Interstate 520/Bobby Jones Expressway. A washout has been discovered under the approach slab to the bridge.

Northbound traffic is being reduced to one lane. All northbound traffic is being redirected to the paved median. Both southbound lanes will remain open.

Maintenance staff estimate repairs will take at least one week, weather permitting. Drivers are advised to slow down and use caution when navigating the work zone.
