Macon-Bibb road detours, delays for month of May

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Macon-Bibb drivers should expect some delays and detours on a few city roads for May.

According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, the intersection of U.S. 41, Ga. 247, Pio Nono Avenue, and Roff Avenue will be closed starting Friday.

Construction will heighten the current bridge that crosses over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks.

The completion of the project will meet the company’s height requirement to allow for double-stacked rail cars to easily pass under the bridge.

Completion of the project is expected by the end of the year.
