Georgia DOT’s maintenance crews will repair the deteriorating edges of pavement on SR 5 in Carroll County; SR 1, SR 140, and SR 293 in Floyd County; and SR 1, SR 6 and SR 100 in Polk County. Work will proceed daily Monday, March 4 through Thursday, March 7 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., weather permitting.

Edge repair is a maintenance activity that is intended to guard against pavement failure along the edges due to the action of traffic and the loss of edge support that occurs due to the presence of water, aggressive- growth vegetation, and wind from either traffic or the atmosphere.

Georgia DOT’s edge repairs are designed to minimize the effects of shoulder drop offs and maximize the safety of the roadway for the traveling public.
