Detour is to allow for construction of new roundabout just south of SR 316 in Barrow County<\/p>\n
BARROW COUNTY, GA (July 14, 2026)\u2013\u00a0The Georgia Department of Transportation has announced that, weather permitting, it will implement a full closure and detour of the northern intersection of Parkway Pointe Boulevard and Carl-Bethlehem Road to allow for construction of a new roundabout just south of SR 316 in Barrow County (Project PI No. 0013903). The detour is scheduled to begin on Friday, July 24 and last up to 12 months. According to GDOT, during the detour, motorists will continue to have access to Carl-Bethlehem Road using the southeastern intersection of Carl-Bethlehem Road and Parkway Pointe Boulevard. Georgia DOT plans, constructs, and maintains Georgia\u2019s state and federal highways. We\u2019re involved in bridge, waterway, public transit, rail, general aviation, bike, and pedestrian programs. And we help local governments maintain their roads. Georgia DOT and its nearly 4,000 employees are committed to\u00a0delivering a transportation system focused on innovation, safety, sustainability, and mobility. The department\u2019s vision is to boost Georgia\u2019s competitiveness through leadership in transportation. Visit\u00a0www.dot.ga.gov<\/a>.
