Roswell To Break Ground On Grove Way, Bush Street Improvements

ROSWELL, GA -- On Friday, the city of Roswell will host a groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the start of the Grove Way and Bush Street improvement project.

The ceremony will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 24 at the corner of Grove Way and Bush Street. All members of the public are invited to attend Friday's event, and parking will be available in the Child Development Association’s lower lot.

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

The project also enables the CDA to make significant improvements to their site and parking areas. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of August, and will be conducted during daylight hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

During construction, Bush Street from Pleasant Avenue to Grove Way and part of Grove Way from Bush Street to the end of the CDA property will be closed to traffic. Drivers will be able to access the CDA through Grove Way westbound from Forrest Street. They will also be able to access Oak Street from Oxbo Road via Pleasant Hill Street or Highway 9 northbound.

The project will be constructed by JFC Corporation and costs about $1.3 million. Funding is provided by the city through the Capital Project Fund, Water Fund and through the Community Development Block Grant fund.
