If you travel on East Piedmont Road between Roswell Road and Allgood Road, be advised that overnight repaving is underway and will continue into the fall.
Repaving vehicles are parked along the road by the East Cobb YMCA along a stretch of East Piedmont where the top coat has been removed, so it’s slow and rough going there for vehicles in southbound lanes.
The repaving work, which began earlier this month, takes place Sundays-Fridays from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and one lane of traffic will remain open. The estimated time for the end of the project is late November, according to Cobb DOT.
Other ongoing resurfacing and road construction work in East Cobb includes the following:
- McPherson Road from Post Oak Tritt Road to Shallowford Road, with lane closures in effect Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through the end of October;
- Kemp Road from Jamerson Road to Trickum Road, lane closures M-F 9-4 through the end of November;
- Sidewalk additions on the west side of Chimney Lakes Drive from Revere Circle to Bishop Lake, lane closures M-F 9-4 through mid-November;
