No timeline set for re-opening date
Walton County is issuing a notice to residents that the bridge crossing Beaverdam Creek on Dewey Hogan Road (the dirt portion) will be closed to all road traffic. While our public works team had already been monitoring this bridge closely, a recent routine inspection uncovered safety concerns that required us to close it to keep our community safe.
The closure will begin the week of September 28th, 2026. There is currently no set timeline for when the bridge will reopen. The county is pursuing a replacement through the Georgia Department of Transportation’s Low Impact Bridge Program (LIBP). Securing state support through this program will save significant taxpayer dollars, though it does mean the overall design and replacement process may take a bit longer.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this project to build a safer crossing for everyone. We will keep the community updated as soon as new information and timelines become available.
