Full-depth patching ahead for part of 123

That recent highway project that created a short detour for traffic on U-S 123 in Oconee County near the Georgia line will lead to “full-depth patching” and re-surfacing work on the two-lane highway.  Josh Makison, the Oconee construction engineer for the DOT, says the work will take place in the vicinity of Pickens Road.  The work will cover 1.93 miles.  That re-hab project is just one of several that are slated this spring and summer—now that the temperatures are headed up and become conducive for paving projects.
