EAST FORSYTH -- Motorists who take Buford Dam Road after the morning rush hour commute will need to find an alternate route Wednesday.

Buford Dam Road and parks with entrances on it will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 15 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. so crews can replace guardrails, according to Chris Arthur, supervisory chief ranger with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Affected parks include: Lower Overlook, Lower Pool West, the West Bank turn-out and West Bank Park.

The Lake Lanier Project Management Office and Visitor Center will remain open to the public, Arthur said.

For any questions about the closures, contact the Corps at (770) 945-9531.
