A portion of Ga. 92, a busy six-lane highway in southern Cherokee County, is to be closed for a weekend in June for repairs to a railroad crossing in Woodstock.
Woodstock officials and the Georgia Department of Transportation say that weather permitting, Patriot Rail, owner of the Georgia Northeastern Railroad, will have Ga. 92 closed at the railroad from 11 p.m. June 16 until 5 a.m. June 19. In case of inclement weather, the work will be rescheduled for the weekend of June 23.
Eastbound motorists will detour right on Canton Highway, left on Piedmont Road, and left on Sandy Plains Road back to Ga. 92. Westbound drivers will turn right on Trickum Road, left on Arnold Mill Road (which changes names in downtown Woodstock to Towne Lane Parkway), and left on southbound I-575 to the Ga. 92 exit.
Ga. 92 spans Cobb, Cherokee and North Fulton counties from Acworth on the west to Roswell on the east.
“We understand that the closure of Highway 92 for a whole weekend may cause some inconvenience and delays, but it is necessary for railroad company to repair the crossing as quickly as possible and give the roadway back to local traffic and the traveling public,” said DeWayne Comer, district engineer at the GDOT office in Cartersville.
