Columbia County website tracks final steps of storm cleanup
EVANS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Columbia County officials on Friday announced the launch of a dedicated webpage that will provide residents with up-to-date information on the completion of debris removal along county and city roads following Hurricane Helene.
The page will feature a list of completed roads as part of the second and final of debris pickup, which began Monday.
Another new Olive Garden planned for the Augusta area
Owners are looking to potentially build a new Olive Garden in Columbia County, according to zoning applications.

As roads are cleared, they will be marked complete by CERES Environmental.
Each completed road will undergo a final verification process, including photo documentation by DebrisTech and county staff, to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Once confirmed, the road will be added to the page to ensure residents are aware that no additional debris should be placed along the right-of-way on those routes.
What’s the status of orange cones, traffic on Furys Ferry Road?
The last time we checked in with the engineering department, they told us to expect the project to be finished in 2026. But they did say the project is 75% to 80% complete.

While there is no set schedule for when debris removal will occur in specific neighborhoods, residents are encouraged to monitor the webpage regularly for updates. This will allow them to stay informed about the completion of the final in their area.
The page can be accessed via the homepage of Columbia County, Georgia’s official website: www.columbiacountyga.gov.
