Old Alabama Connector, Holcomb Bridge Projects To Start in Roswell

Staff Report

The city of Roswell’s Department of Transportation will begin construction on two intersection improvement projects within the next few days.

The Old Alabama Road Connector improvement project will start on Wednesday, Sept. 10, and involves the construction of a westbound right-turn lane along Old Alabama Road at the intersection of Old Alabama Road Connector.

The project also will add approximately 410 feet of sidewalk along Old Alabama Road between Old Alabama Road Connector and Roxburgh Drive.

Weather permitting, construction is expected to be completed in October. Travelers may experience delays in the area with temporary lane closures; however, access through the area will be maintained.

The construction contract was awarded to Summit Construction at a cost of $120,984.85, which was fully funded by the city of Roswell.

Both Roswell and the Georgia Department of Transportation will begin an intersection improvement project at Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 at Warsaw Road on Monday, Sept. 15.

Travelers may experience delays in the areas with temporary lane closures; however, access through the areas will be maintained.

This improvement includes extending the westbound left turn lane along Holcomb Bridge Road/SR 140 and rebuilding the median noses on the westbound and eastbound approaches to improve the turning radius for left-turning drivers. The extended turn lane will provide space for additional vehicles and improve westbound through traffic flow.

Construction is expected to be completed in October, weather permitting. The cost of construction is $133,635.52 and is funded by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
