House Speaker David Ralston Cuts Ribbon on New North Leesburg Bypass
Tuesday, October 27th, 2015
Leesburg officials, assorted dignitaries and Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston cut the ribbon on the $8 million North Leesburg Bypass Monday. The 1.78-mile bypass will relieve school day congestion in the city by routing traffic from U.S. 19 around the city of Leesburg north to State Route 195.
The bypass starts just north of Leesburg schools on State Route 195, connects to Old Smithville Road and then continues westward with a bridge over the railroad tracks and U.S. Highway 19 before looping back to U.S. 19.
