Roswell Intersection To Close July 9 For 2 Weeks

ROSWELL, GA — The city of Roswell on Monday will close an intersection for two weeks to shorten the construction time of a complete street project.

Hardscrabble Road and Chaffin Road will close starting July 9 so crews can shorten the time of the Hardscrabble Green Loop Project by four to five months. A roundabout will be constructed at the intersection during the road closure, the city of Roswell added.

Through traffic will be required to detour around the Hardscrabble-Chaffin intersection during the two-week closure. Detour routes will include Etris Road, Crabapple Road, S.R. 92/West Crossville Road and King Road. Local residents will still be allowed access. Signs alerting drivers to the impending closure and detours have been put in place.

The entire Hardscrabble Green Loop project is slated to be finished in spring or summer of 2019. The Hardscrabble Green Loop, a complete street initiative, will include intersection improvements, sidewalks, bikes lanes and a multi-use trail.

Once complete, it will allow bicyclists and pedestrians to use both sides of Hardscrabble Road corridor. This concept is part of a larger bicycle and pedestrian system called the Roswell Loop. The cost of the entire project is $5.8 million and is jointly funded by the city and the Georgia Department of Transportation.
