GAINESVILLE - A detour will close Clarks Bridge over Lake Lanier north of Gainesville for a maximum of 10 days beginning Monday as crews finish building the new roadway tying it into the new bridge and shift traffic onto the new bridge.
The exact assigned detour route will be: SR 284/Clarks Bridge Road to SR 11/US 129 to SR 52 to SR 284
To access the parking and boat ramps at Clarks Bridge Park and the rowing venue, vehicles must use SR 284 southbound or from Clermont. No access will be available to the parking area or boat ramps from SR 284 northbound from Gainesville.
Furthermore, northbound SR 284 (from Gainesville) will be completely closed to all traffic before the bridge. Southbound SR 284 (from Clermont) traffic can access parking and the Olympic Venue driveways but not cross the bridge.
