FYN has been informed of a Georgia DOT (Department of Transportation) inspection on the bridge on Lower Cartecay Road that has deemed it “Unsafe.”
Due to this, FYN has confirmed with Commission Chairman Paris that the bridge is closed at this time to public use. Authorities will be attempting to further inspect the bridge to see if it is possible for repairs, or if a full replacement is necessary.
As for the closing of the bridge, Chairman Paris expects it will be weeks before it could be open due to the current condition.
Paris assured FYN he would continue updates as decisions are made about the future of the bridge.
