The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has awarded a $148,000 design contract for improvements to the intersection of Hickory Flat Highway (Ga. 140) and Hickory/Batesville roads.
Heath & Lineback Engineers Inc. is charged with coming up with a design that the county will review and approve prior to proceeding to detailed construction plans, staff said in a report to commissioners.
Hickory/Batesville is a two-lane rural road that runs from Holly Springs to Milton in Fulton County. Its intersection with Hickory Flat is a major commercial crossroads identified as a priority project in the Ga. 140 Corridor Study of July 2019.
“The intersection has capacity problems on the north, east and south legs,” staff said. Heath & Lineback “will review the traffic engineering corridor study to determine (the) final configuration of the intersection.”
