I live off of Fannie Road on Welka Rd and the traffic there has increased by bunches. The big trucks have become a problem. There is a small bridge before my house and the big trucks running like their on I-65 is creating a hole on the bridge. Our road is not an standard road, it is smaller than a normal 2 lane road. There are no stripes down the middle of the roadand there several sharp curves. I have been run into the bushes several times by big trucks and cars. So if the county wants to help; Adress the problem on Welka Rd. I am in agreeance with mike. I live off of Fannie Road on Welka Rd and the traffic there has increased by bunches.

I watch trucks go up and down Fannie Rd like it was HWY 29 just because it is shorter than going around. Some trucks are loaded and some are not. The only trucks that might be allowed to cross are the ones the driver lives back in that area. There are only two that I know of, both are on Carnley Rd. A couple years ago, the creek bridge was replaced. To go across it today, you couldn't tell. If you are pulling a travel trailer or a heavy type boat, it feels like you might bounce of the bridge.

Not even newsworthy. If it won't be replaced until 2014, it's not nearly as bad as some try to make it out to be. This is a non-story. Not even newsworthy.
