— From STAFF REPORTS

Crisp County – Contractors for the Georgia DOT will temporarily detour I-75 northbound and southbound traffic at Exit 104/County Road 361 (Farmers Market Road) today between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., weather permitting.
The prime contractor will utilize a temporary detour to facilitate the removal of the County Road 361 (Farmers Market Road) bridge over I-75. Farmers Market Road will be closed over the interstate during this detour. Farmers Market Road eastbound traffic will be permitted to get on to I-75 south and westbound traffic will be permitted to get on to I-75 north.
The detour routes are:
• I-75 southbound traffic will exit the interstate at Exit 104 (CR 361), travel across Farmers Market Road to the Exit 104 southbound on ramp and return to the interstate.
• I-75 northbound traffic will exit the interstate at Exit 104 (CR 361), travel across Farmers Market Road to the Exit 104 northbound on ramp and return to the interstate.
The inconvenience of this bridge closure was necessary to facilitate completion of this portion of the $148 million interstate reconstruction project, which has an overall completion date of March 2010.
