*Due to a stormwater pipe repair project, Elizabeth Lane in Flowery Branch will close to thru traffic beginning at 7:00 a.m. Saturday and is not expected to reopen until about ten days later. That’s the road where a culvert was washed out by those torrential one-day rains back in July. The section of road that will be closed is between Squirrel Nest Court and Mulberry Preserve Drive.
