The affected area is between Longview Road and New Hope Road, north of Fayetteville. The project will include the demolition and removal of two failing 96-inch corrugated metal pipes, which will be replaced by two reinforced concrete box culverts about 8 feet square.

Two other stormwater repair projects will also be completed in the same area during this time, one on Creekwood Court and another on Mercedes Trail. Both streets will have at least one lane open at all times for residents to access their homes. The 3.4-mile detour around the closed portion of Kenwood Road will be along New Hope Road, Brogdon Road and Longview Road.

All three repairs are being funded by revenue from Fayette’s special purpose local option sales tax.

Stockbridge

City council approves expenditures

The Stockbridge City Council voted at its May 26 workshop meeting to approve three SPLOST-funded expenditures.

One was a change order allocating an additional $31,332 for the amphitheater construction project. Road improvements along East Atlanta Road and Lee Street have necessitated the relocation of transformer poles by Georgia Power, a task that will cost an estimated $265,016.33. That motion was approved with the conditions that there is no adverse effect to the surrounding neighborhood and that advance notice is given to residents.

Also approved was a request for proposals regarding facility security equipment, systems and services with related supplies in the potential amount of $318,332.37. This involves work to be performed for amphitheater security, according to a city staff report.
