Traffic Shift Implemented On Mayfield Road, Charlotte Drive

MILTON, GA — A traffic shift was implemented on Tuesday in Milton at the intersection of Mayfield Road and Charlotte Drive. Contractors will be shifting to a three-way stop controlled operation and removing the traffic signal at the intersection. It will be done with temporary pavement, striping, traffic barrels and signage, the city said.

Drivers should expect delays as the city transitions and during this stage of construction. This is the next phase of the process as the roundabout is constructed.

In November 2016, citizens throughout Fulton County approved a Transportation Special Purpose Local-Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST). This 0.75 percent (3/4 cent), five-year referendum is estimated to bring a projected $37 million to the City of Milton to fund transportation projects. The Crabapple Northeast Connector Roadway (Project MIL-030) with intersection improvements at Mayfield Road and Charlotte Drive (Project MIL-005) is scheduled to be one of the first projects funded and implemented under the TSPLOST program.

In July 2017, the city approved a contract with Pond & Company to develop a concept including traffic modeling, property survey mapping, improvement scenario and concept plans.

Overall Project Layout shows recent improvements at Mayfield Road and Birmingham Highway, Heritage Walk at Birmingham Highway, and sidewalks along Mayfield Road along with planned project improvements.

On Feb. 5, the city approved a construction contract with CMES, Inc.
