Grove Way, Bush Street Closed For Realignment Project

ROSWELL, GA -- Portions of Grove Way and Bush Street in Roswell are closed for utility relocation necessary for a street realignment project.

The closures will remain in effect for about 10 months, as the city, utility companies and their contractors complete various steps in the project. Detours are in place, and drivers who need to access the Child Development Association are able to do so by approaching Grove Way westbound from Forrest Street.

The project calls for lowering a vertical curve, widening Grove Way and Bush Street and installing a new sidewalk and a waterline. The reconstruction improves visibility and enables two-way traffic — thus doubling fire, emergency, and public access to CDA, Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, the Housing Authority of Roswell and the new Veranda at Groveway mixed-use, mixed-income development.

During construction, Bush Street will be closed from Pleasant Avenue to just past the intersection with Grove Way, and part of Grove Way will be closed from Bush Street to the end of the CDA property.

Drivers may use alternate routes:

• Access the CDA via Grove Way westbound from Forrest Street.
• Access Oak Street from Oxbo Road via Pleasant Hill Street or Hwy 9 northbound.

The project will be constructed by JHC Corporation and costs approximately $1.3 million. Funding is provided by the city and through the Community Development Block Grant fund.
