Motorists traveling through Habersham County should plan for a temporary road closure this weekend as crews perform maintenance connected to the construction of the county’s new Animal Control Facility.
According to county officials, a section of Old Athens Highway will be closed on Saturday, November 15, to allow crews to complete water and sewer line work.
Closure Details
- Closed Section: From Hills Mill Road to Level Grove Road
- Detour Routes: Level Grove Road, J. Warren Road, Old Cleveland Road, Old Athens Highway, and Hills Mill Road

Detour signs will be in place to guide drivers around the affected area.
Officials say they hope to complete the project on Saturday, but depending on progress and weather conditions, the closure could extend into Sunday, November 16.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we complete this important project for our community,” the county shared in a statement.
The new Animal Control Facility is one of several ongoing infrastructure improvements in Habersham County aimed at enhancing local services.
