(Cleveland)- Georgia Department of Transportation  announces a traffic shift  on State Route  115 at Tesnatee Gap Valley Road Tuesday,  if weather permits.  

GDOT Spokeswoman Teri Pope  in an email said,  the left turning lane at Tesnatee Valley Gap Road will be removed and about 500 feet of the SR 115 westbound passing lane approaching Tesnatee Valley Gap Road will be removed so crews can work in those lanes.  The highway will be reduced to one lane in each direction at Tesnatee Gap Valley Road.

According to Pope the reason for the lane reduction,  crews will install a 72 inch drainage pipe under State Route 115  as part of the building of  the new intersection for Phase One of the Cleveland Bypass.  

Pope advises motorist to please use extra caution as you travel through the work zone while traffic becomes familiar with the changes.
