As a part of the Sandy Plains Road project, water service will be impacted the evening of July 25 into the morning of July 26.

All water service to the east side of Sandy Plains Road between East Piedmont Road and Ebenezer Road will be impacted from 11 p.m. July 25 until 5 a.m. July 26, according to a July 24 email newsletter from Cobb Commissioner JoAnn Birrell.

That will allow Cobb crews to install a new valve on the existing water main in front of McDonald’s.

Also, northbound lane closures will be in place within this area.

Drivers are advised to take Canton Road or Holly Springs Road as alternate routes to avoid traffic congestion.

Motorists using Sandy Plains Road should reduce their speed and exercise caution in the area.

From Kinjac Drive to Ebenezer Road, the Sandy Plains Road project consists of installing a raised concrete median with appropriate median cuts and access points.

Other improvements include new crosswalks and pedestrian signalization, new traffic signalization and resurfacing of Sandy Plains Road.

Also included are widened sections, associated pavement markings and signage.

The project is scheduled to be completed by this December.
