“(Starting Monday), the White Sulphur Road railroad crossing near Sargent Road will be temporarily closed (and remain closed all week). Motorists in that area are encouraged to use the main detour of Cagle Road to SR 365; however, Hall County has worked with Norfolk Southern and the Georgia Ports Authority to temporarily reopen the White Sulphur Road railroad crossing at the Blue Ridge Connector (Inland Port) during peak traffic hours as an alternative.
Hall County will operate a single-lane, controlled access point at the Blue Ridge Connector and White Sulphur Road railroad crossing. Controlled access will be operational from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. During the hours of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., access will be closed, requiring drivers to use SR 365 via Cagle Road. This will allow for safer and more controlled traffic flow during peak travel times.
Flaggers will be in place to help drivers navigate the temporary reopening during operating hours, and detour signage will be posted starting Monday, Aug. 25. Additionally, road resurfacing will take place from Sargent Road to Big Oak Road during this time.
Hall County would like to thank Norfolk Southern and the Georgia Ports Authority for their collaboration in creating safer, more efficient detour operations for this necessary work.
For questions about the temporary detour, please contact Hall County’s Engineering Division at 770-531-6800. For more information on current road projects and detours, visit hallcounty.org.“
