I take Dials Mill Road when coming from Athens and get on 316 toward Atlanta. Will there still be access from there to get on 316 west bound?

My only concern is living through the mess of construction. These overpasses and exits are long overdue. 316 isn’t some back country road and shouldn’t have ANY at grade intersections.

It becomes more and more difficult for serious bicycle riders to find good routes to ride throughout barrow,oconee and Athens Clarke counties. One has to go back and forth and re trace routes to get one’s mileage in. Why can’t there be an overpass at dials mill then one could ride one’s bicycle over. They have cut off 2 parts of Aiken road from one another why now do it to another road. Come on think of the residents and not cut up the neighborhood as they have done in large metropolitan areas destroying the quality of life. Remember when they wanted to build the jimmy carter extension to his library which would have destroyed the historic neighborhood.

This is a very important access if you’re not going to build a bridge then leave it like it is

This exit is so dangerous It seem like people have not even been to this exit. Their is a wreck out here almost every week. Also you can replace wood and cars. But you can't replace lives . Jennifer Vogel

I think it's about time that they do something about this crazy intersection at Dials Mill Extension Exit IT IS Awful. It's hard to get on 316 without someone trying to run you over so I think a full interchange is a GREAT IDEA. It will save a lot of lives. Do what you have to do to make things better. Thanks Jennifer Vogel

I would suggest removing the Athens-Clarke County mapping image and replacing it with an Oconee County mapping image on the portion of the website that provides contact info for public officials that represent Oconee County.

Thank you for the suggestion. We've made the change! I do want to note that the previous image used highlighted Bogart / Statham along 316 in red in order to focus on the areas of potential imminent impact, but the site's scroll effect decided to center-in more on the Athens area of 316. This was especially the case when viewing the site on a mobile device because the view port is so narrow. Nonetheless, great eye for detail and thank you for pointing it out!

This site is a great resource. Living off Pete Dickens, I certainly have my concerns about the GDOT plans for McNutt Creek. It's important for us as a community to be informed so we can have a voice when it comes to decision making.
