The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, West Point Project, announced that vehicular and pedestrian traffic across the dam road will be closed from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Wednesday, May 21, 2014, to ensure public safety while routine maintenance is conducted on the West Point Dam.
Many motorists use the West Point Dam Road in their daily commutes across the Chattahoochee River, and the closure may add to their travel time. Signs located at each end of the road are in place to notify the public of its accessibility. Alternate routes across the river are US Highway 29 Bridge in West Point, Georgia, and the Georgia Highway 109 Bridge near LaGrange, Georgia.
