The congested Bells Ferry Road intersection at Piedmont Road and Barrett Parkway is scheduled for a proposed improvement project that would include left- and right-hand turn lanes.
The Cobb Board of Commissioners on Tuesday will consider at $2 million funding request to make the changes, which include the following additions:
- northbound and southbound dual left turn lanes on Bells Ferry Road;
- a northbound right turn lane on Bells Ferry Road;
- a westbound right turn lane on Piedmont Road.
The project was approved in the 2005 Cobb SPLOST transportation list, and the low bidder is Acworth-based Glosson Enterprises. The timetable for completion is projected to be a year.
Another East Cobb-related road project on Tuesday’s agenda (here’s the full book) includes approving a $63,700 contract for Excellere Construction to build a sidewalk on the east side of Providence Road, between Providence Corner Drive and Pine Road.
The commission meeting starts at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the 2nd floor meeting room of the Cobb BOC Building, 100 Cherokee St., in downtown Marietta.
