A Casteel Road closure that’s been in place since the start of summer school vacation will be lasting into the start of a new school year.
Ongoing construction work to replace the aging Piney Grove Creek bridge means that Casteel Road will now be closed until Aug. 15.
Initially DOT had estimated a completion around July 31, since Cobb schools return on Aug. 1.
The $1.2 million project includes a wider passage on Casteel Road over the bridge, with shoulders, sidewalks and barriers on both sides, and a reconfiguration of its intersection with Bill Murdock Road and Oak Lane.
Through traffic on all three roads near the bridge site is being met with signs like the above, on Bill Murdock at Blakeford Club Drive.
A detour route prepared by Cobb DOT and mapped below continues to be in effect until the bridge work is done and the roads are reopened.
