Several roads in downtown Athens have reopened since Wednesday’s fatal crash on Jackson Street and Broad Street.
One eastbound vehicle lane of East Broad Street between Lumpkin and Jackson reopened Monday afternoon. Both eastbound vehicle lanes of East Broad Street are open past the Jackson Street intersection to the Thomas Street intersection.
South Jackson Street will remain closed between East Broad Street and South Street for vehicles and pedestrians. The sidewalk between the UGA Arch and South Jackson Street is still closed.
Pedestrians should use the Lumpkin Street, College Avenue and Thomas Street crosswalks to cross East Broad Street.
Roads and sidewalks that are still closed are expected to stay that way until more repairs have been made to the historic building which housed Magnolia’s Bar and Republic Salon.
The salon announced in a Facebook post this weekend that they’ll be able to reopen in the next two weeks.
It’s unclear when Magnolia’s could return for business.
