Project Extends Left Turn Lane On Ga. 92 At Neese Road

WOODSTOCK, GA — The Georgia Department of Transportation has launched a project that is designed to improve traffic flow along a segment of Highway 92 in Woodstock. The agency has approved $110,230 in Quick Response Program funding to extend the left turn lane on the eastbound side of Ga. 92 at its intersection with Neese Road.

The contract was awarded to Bartow Paving Company, Inc., and the work is expected to be completed in two weeks, Georgia DOT states.

“Upon completion, this Quick Response project will help improve the flow of traffic on S.R. 92, make it safer and help the public get where they need to go in Cherokee County,” said Grant Waldrop, district engineer at the DOT office in Cartersville.

Motorists should note work on the project will require some lane closures, night work and traffic pacing, and should pay attention to advanced warning signs and watch out for contractor personnel and vehicles in this work zone.

This is the second Quick Response Program project GDOT has performed on Ga. 92. In July, it awarded a $133,141 contract to Bartow Paving to extend the left turn lane on Ga. 92 at its intersection with Trickum Road.

The Quick Response Program supports low cost operational projects on the state route system such as restriping, intersection improvements, turn lane additions and extensions. These project can be implemented in a short period of time and typically cost less than $200,000. They generally stay within the state right-of-way and require little if any utility relocation. Quick Response projects are identified by Georgia DOT staff and managed through the Office of Local Grants.
