MORVEN, Ga. – A previously-scheduled traffic shift on state Route 133 that was postponed due to Tropical Storm Irma will now happen Tuesday, weather permitting.

The Georgia Department of Transportation will move state Route 133 traffic onto a portion of newly-constructed northbound lanes. The shift was originally supposed to happen Sept. 7.

The shift will be from Campground Road in Morven to 4,000 feet south of Lawson Pond Road.

The stop sign on Lawson Pond Road has been moved back because traffic will be on the SR 133 northbound lanes. Traffic traveling on the side road approaching SR 133 should be prepared to stop sooner.

Georgia DOT is widening/reconstructing SR 133 from Brooks to Dougherty counties. The corridor is in the Governor’s Road Improvement Program (GRIP), a system of economic development highways. The work is being done in 10 separate sections or projects. Two sections have been completed and three are under construction, all on the southern end of the corridor.
