Several major thoroughfares in the East Cobb area will get resurfaced as part of the initial group of projects funded through the Cobb 2022 SPLOST.
Cobb commissioners on Tuesday approved the spending of $28.2 million to repave 29 roads totalling nearly 43 miles around the county.
They include Johnson Ferry Road between Roswell Road and Post Oak Tritt Road, Sandy Plains Road from Shallowford Road to Alabama Road and all of Robinson Road.
Here are the roads in East Cobb that will be resurfaced; there’s not a specific timetable for each one to be completed:
- Delk Road from Powers Ferry Road to Terrell Mill Road, 0.3 miles
- Fairfield Drive from Lower Roswell Road to Indian Hills Parkway, 1.3 miles
- Johnson Ferry Road from Post Oak Tritt to Roswell Road, 2.5 miles
- Little Willeo Road from Johnson Ferry Road to Timber Ridge Road, 1.8 miles
- Robinson Road from Roswell Road East to Roswell Road West, 3.2 miles
- Timber Ridge Road from Roswell Road to Lower Roswell Road, 1.3 miles
- East Piedmont Road from Sandy Plains Road to Allgood Road, 2.1 miles
- Maybreeze Road from Ebenezer Road to Shallowford Road, 0.7 miles

- Old Mountain Park Road from Alabama Road to the Fulton County line, 0.5 miles

In 2020, Cobb voters extended the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax that collects funds for various county projects, including road maintenance.
The new six-year collection period began in January; here’s more information about what’s on the project list.

Peachtree Ct. off of Lower Roswell needs repaying badly! They resurfaced the subdivision across the street several years ago. Any consideration would be appreciated ❤️
Is there any chance, that our subdivision Fox Hollow could get repaved. It has had more pot holes and the road is bubbling up on Fox Hollow Drive. It needs it badly and would greatly appreciate your consideration, as you begin Robinson Road. Thank you for your consideration.
