South Bentley Road beyond the Bluffton Stone Co., will be closed all next week for culvert repair. No through traffic will be permitted.
llen County Engineer employees will be replacing the culvert located just south of the stone quarry on Bentley Road. The road will be blocked and no traffic will be able to get through. Vehicles will be able to exit / enter I-75 at Bentley Road without problem.
Thanks to our two viewer comments, we've re-thought this photo. We believe it is the Interstate 75 overpass over the abandoned AC&Y Railroad, east of Bluffton.
The northbound bridge is completed and, actually traffic is one-way on that bridge, while the southbound bridge is still under completion in this photo.
