Open house set for widening plans
Northern Forsyth county residents and business owners will be able to look at the plans for a highway/freeway improvement project later this month.
The work would widen Ga. 369 from two lanes from just west of Ga. 9 to just east of Ga. 306 — about 2.4 miles. It would also replace the Ga. 400 and 369 intersection with a grade-separated, partial cloverleaf interchange.
The project is part of the $200 million transportation bond issue the voters approved in 2014. County officials say that after the design work is done, they’ll start acquiring right-of-way and hope to kick off constriction in mid- to late 2018.
The Forsyth County Department of Engineering along with design group American Engineers will showcase plans during an open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 13 at Coal Mountain Elementary School, 3455 Coal Mountain Drive, Cumming. The open house will be drop-in and informal.
