Dunwoody, GA – March 1, 2022 – Last night, the Dunwoody City Council approved the 2022 paving plan, which will cover 33 streets and 15 lane miles. Blount Construction received a contract extension for $2,752,922. Most of the funding comes from DeKalb County’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST). The Georgia Department of Transportation will also provide $441,005 through Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) funds.

“Despite an uptick in oil prices and other materials, the City will be able to complete all of the streets in the 2022 paving plan, including three additional neighborhood streets originally scheduled for 2023 and 2024,” said Dunwoody Public Works Director Michael Smith. “We look forward to getting started with paving as warmer weather arrives.”

When Dunwoody became a city in December 2008, city leaders began building a plan for a 20-year paving cycle. The plan prioritizes paving the roads with the greatest maintenance needs first based on a pavement assessment report, which is updated for all city streets every 5 years. Dunwoody is in the 13th year of the paving cycle and has paved 213 lane miles since incorporation.

Here are the roads included in the 2022 paving plan:

Barcroft Way, Bend Creek Rd, Bend Creek Way, Biddle Ct, Braddock Ct, Brompton Ct, Bunky Lane, Bunky Way, Devonshire Ct, Devonshire Rd, Devonshire Way, E. Bend Creek Ct, Eidson Hall Dr, Kimblewick Cove, Kings Down Rd, Martina Dr, Martina Way, Meadowcreek Ct, Mount Vernon Way north of Withmere Way, Nerine Cr, Ridgemont Rd, Summerset Dr, Trotters Cove, W. Bend Creek Ct, Whitewood Ct, Witham Dr, Withmere Ln, Withmere Way.

The following streets were moved up from future years based on available funding: Dunbrooke Lane, Kings Down Cr, Manning Farms Ct. Additionally, Spalding Drive and Spender Trace will be paved as part of the intersection improvement project at Chamblee Dunwoody Road.
