Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club to be Connected by Tunnel

The Lake Lanier Canoe and Kayak Club may soon have a tunnel that rowers can use to cross under the busy road dividing the two parts of the club.

The downside is that digging into Clarks Bridge Road will close it for up to four months. There will still be access to homes, boat ramps and venue boathouses, but only from the north side of the bridge.  The project is part of a larger $5.3 million plan to build a new Clarks Bridge. Construction may start in the second half of 2007.
