Improvements on the Way for Intersection

Early next year drivers should see improvements to the intersection of State Highway 54 East and McElroy Road. The Board of Commissioners recently finalized an agreement with GaDOT to install turn lanes and a traffic signal at the intersection. Turn lanes will be placed on Highway 54 for drivers from both directions who wish to turn onto McElroy Road. Also, for drivers exiting McElroy Road onto Highway 54, both right and left turn lanes will be added. The addition of a traffic signal will complete the project.

Construction of the long-awaited improvements is planned to begin in September and should be completed in early Spring, 2007.
