Beginning this spring, more than 20 projects will be underway in the Cumberland Community Improvement District.

These safety and roadway improvement projects will take place within a three-mile area from Terrell Mill Road to the Chattahoochee River on U.S. 41/Cobb Parkway.

Heavy traffic congestion and lane closures will be expected at times through spring 2017.
