GDOT: US 82 closing in Cuthbert for water line repair

CUTHBERT, Ga. — According to GDOT, US 82/State Route (SR) 50 in Cuthbert is scheduled to close Tuesday, Feb. 6, to allow the city utility department to access a leaking water line.

The water line is in the area of the Cuthbert water tower near Webster Street. The line is owned by the city, but it is underneath US 82 and a portion of the road will have to be removed to locate the leak and repair it.

Westbound traffic will be directed to take US 27 to SR 216/Court Street. The detour for eastbound traffic will begin at SR 216. Traffic will be directed to US 27 and return to US 82. At this time the detour is expected to remain in place for a week.
