The Cobb Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved resurfacing contracts for a number of roads in Cobb County, including the full length of Providence Road in East Cobb.
It’s one of 11 major road repaving contracts totaling $11.6 million that will be performed by C.W. Matthews Construction Co. Inc.
Providence Road is 1.25 miles in length, stretching from Roswell Road near East Cobb Park to Roswell Road at the entrance to Merchant’s Walk Shopping Center.
In addition to providing access to subdivisions, it’s also a busy route for Walton High School traffic.
Here’s a list of the other major road resurfacing projects that have been approved.
The funding for that contract comes from the current 2022 Cobb SPLOST (Special-Purpose Local-Option Sales Tax).
The 2022 SPLOST also is the funding source for four other repaving contracts in the county, totaling $26.7 million, for local roads. They include the following in East Cobb:
- 1.43 miles of Loch Highland Parkway between Wesley Chapel Road and Mabry Road
- 0.70 miles of Lassiter Road from Shallowford Road to its dead end
- 0.62 miles of Murdock Road from Sewell Mill Road to a cul-de-sac in Roswell Downs
- 0.62 miles of Beverly Hills Drive from Club Valley Drive to Beverly Hills Drive
There are many, many others, in quite a few East Cobb subdivisions, and you can read through them here and here.
