-Staff reports-

Georgia Department of Transportation crews will close the US 411 bridge from Rome heading toward Cartersville starting Monday. 

The bridge will be closed for about two weeks while it is repaired. 

Vehicles traveling from Rome toward Cartersville will take US 27 to US 411 toward Cedartown/Gadsden then turn onto Darlington Drive Southwest to return to US 411 toward Cartersville.   

Motorists would also be wise to take the connector/Georgia Loop 1 to avoid the area altogether. 

Due to the volume of traffic that utilizes the Cartersville exit from Turner McCall, public safety is
encouraging motorists to seek out other detours such as the Rome Bypass (Ga Loop 1).

Detour options include:

1. Turner McCall to 12th Street exit; right onto Dean Street (Ga 101) and then left onto Cartersville
   Highway (Ga 20 / US411)
2. Turner McCall to Maple Street exit; turn left and then left again to merge onto Cartersville
   Highway (Ga 20 / US 411).
3. Turner McCall to Five Points; connect to New Calhoun Highway (Ga 53) or Kingston Highway
   (Ga 293) to utilize Rome bypass (Ga Loop 1) to Cartersville Highway (Ga 20 / US 411).
