It’s characterized as a significant step forward for the Historic Gateway Project in Roswell. The city’s Community Development and Transportation Committee last week approved two memoranda of understanding among the city, the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the National Park Service setting terms and conditions.
The memoranda include stipulations made by the National Park Service in return for its ceding of 1.1 acres of federal property for the improvements.
The 1.1 mile project aims to improve safety and mobility along Ga. 9 between the Chattahoochee River bridge and Ga. 120 by removing the three-lane reversible system and replacing it with a four-lane divided highway with a median for a portion of the stretch, as well as a narrow and continuous median between dual-lane roundabouts at two intersections to facilitate traffic movement in the “historic district” of the corridor.
There’s no word on when construction might begin.
