Cobb County government is sending out this message today:
Cobb Department of Transportation crews opened the new roundabout at Post Oak Tritt and Hembree Roads in time for the Monday morning rush hour. The $1.5 million project is designed to improve traffic flow through the area and also includes enhanced lighting and brings sidewalks up to modern ADA standards.
Traffic might be slow in the area due to the changes in flow, so please drive carefully. More information on roundabouts can be found here.

The roundabout was scheduled to have been completed in July, but Cobb DOT requested and was granted a delay from the Cobb Board of Commissioners in July due to what were cited as weather and utility relocation delays.
The original cost of the project also was pegged at $1.3 million.
The roundabout was built at a busy intersection that previously had only a stop sign for drivers turning left or right from Hembree onto Post Oak Tritt.
It’s also located close to a roundabout opened in the fall of 2017 at Pope High School on Hembree Road.
