Sandy Plains Road northbound lane closures begin Monday

Sandy Plains Road lane closures

The next phase of the Sandy Plains Road improvement project continues Monday, and it’s going to make a congested stretch just above Piedmont Road even more bottlenecked. That’s because road closures will be in effect for water relocation work.

That’s the word coming late Friday afternoon from Cobb government, which issued a “significant traffic advisory” for northbound lanes between Ebenezer Road and Post Oak Tritt Road.

One northbound lane will be closed between 6 am. and 3 p.m. daily for an indefinite time.

Earlier this week Cobb commissioners approved a change order to delay completion of the project to December (it was supposed to have wrapped up in July) due to utility relocation and weather issues.

The delay won’t cost any extra money, but will result in a few months’ more worth of traffic headaches for motorists.
