SPLOST Updates

There has been much interest in two specific SPLOST projects in East Cobb.

Lower Rowell and Johnson Ferry Road: The Board of Commissioners has referred the project back to the Department of Transportation for further review. Traffic data is being updated and communication continues with businesses within the corridor.

Holly Springs Road and Post Oak Tritt: The county recently completed a study of the corridor between Sandy Plains Road and Old Canton Road and is recommending improvements at the intersections of Holly Springs Road at Sandy Plains Road and Holly Springs Road at Post Oak Tritt Road. District 3 Commissioner Birrell held a community meeting on February 28 as an opportunity to learn about county plans to improve safety and traffic operations on Holly Springs Road.
