The work is being coordinated by Columbia County and Reeves Construction Company, according to a press release from Columbia County.

These lane restrictions are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 22, through Monday, Sept. 29, between 9 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., according to a press release from Columbia County.
County officials are reminding drivers to take precautions when traveling through work zones.

Motorists are also advised to consider alternate routes or allow extra travel time while the work is underway.
