Sheep Farm Road now open

A new highway has opened in Oconee County.  On Monday, the new five-lane Sheep Farm Road, from Highway 123 at Wells Highway, crossing Bountyland Road, and proceeding north to Highway 28 at Tanglewood officially opened.   DOT resident construction engineer Ryan Miller describes his office and the US Group, very happy, though, at times, motorists should expect temporary lane closures as the state and the contractor resolve punch-list items and clean up work.
