Section of Old 29 in Hartwell Closed TFN

Due to high levels, a portion of Old Highway 29 in Hartwell has been closed to all traffic. The closure is approximately 0.5 miles south of the Long Point Recreation Area, or 3.5 miles north of Highway 29.  Motorists are being detoured around the area via Brown Circle. At this time, there are several inches of water over the road, making it extremely hazardous to cross.  Once the Corps of Engineers releases water from Lake Hartwell and the levels drop, the road will be inspected and reopened.
