Intersection concerns addressed by Henry County officials
Henry County officials issued a statement March 5 about plans for major intersection improvements to Lester Mill Road and Bill Gardner Parkway.
Multiple automobile accidents continue to be an issue at that location, according to the report, despite past improvements such as the realignment of Lester Mill Road in late 2017 and the installation of flashing stop signs in 2019. County commissioner Johnny Wilson worked with transportation officials to find a temporary solution to improving safety and requested a study be conducted for a permanent solution. Recently, a traffic study was conducted and the intersection met the criteria for a four-way stop, according to officials.
Design of the intersection improvements has been allocated in the county’s most recent SPLOST and will take approximately six to eight months to complete, after which construction will begin.
