I-20 HOV Project Update
Awhile back a post was made regarding the details of the Interstate 20 HOV Project spanning from Georgia Highway 5 to I-285. Some more information has been released about the new Fairburn Road bridge which will rebuilt. Efforts from the DOT can be seen on Fairburn Road with the destruction of the Burger King, Citgo gas station, and Island Flava’s restaurant.
Fairburn Road will be widened to accommodate six lanes of traffic to correspond with the Highway 92 Relocation Project. The information below is provided by the Georgia DOT Preliminary Project List for Lettings:
This project is the improvement of SR92/Fairburn Rd. interchange with I-20 in Douglas County. The proposed typical section will consist of six 12' lanes with a 20' raised median in addition two future lanes will be added and striped out. The improvements will include dual left turn lanes onto both eastbound and westbound I-20. The existing bridge over I-20 will be widened to accommodate 10 lanes of traffic; this will include the four through lanes, four left turn lanes and the two future lanes. In addition to the upgrades on SR 92, Westmorland Plaza Frontage Road will be closed at SR 92 and relocated northerly to Cherokee Boulevard.
Also to note that the Chapel Hill / West Chapel Hill intersection is slated to undergo some type of improvement in September. Currently there are no details available about that project.
