Emergency Repairs on SR 157 to Begin Immediately


WHAT: Weather permitting, crews will be closing State Route 157 immediately on Lookout Mountain at the intersection with SR 136 for an emergency pipe repair. The repairs should be completed Wednesday, and a detour will be in place during the closure.

WHEN: Today, June 8 through Wednesday June 10

DETOUR: Motorists driving north on SR 157 will turn left on to SR 136 and then take SR 189 north to SR 157

  • Advisory: Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones. Before heading out, get real-time information on work status and traffic conditions. Call 511, visit 511ga.org, or download the Georgia 511 app. Our maintenance team members who repair roads and bridges and our project teams who oversee construction projects are continuing their essential work, while following sanitary work practices prescribed by health agencies to protect themselves and the public from the coronavirus, as are most state DOTs in the U.S.
