Forsyth County, GDOT Partner On Ga. 371/Post Road Solutions

CUMMING, GA — Georgia DOT (GDOT) and Forsyth County will collaborate on upcoming intersection improvements on Ga. 371/Post Road at Bentley Road and at Pittman Road.

GDOT's maintenance forces will increase the size of the existing concrete island on the south side of Bentley Road. This work should begin in the next two months.

This larger concrete island will mean drivers on Bentley Road will be able to turn right headed southbound on Ga. 371/Post Road. No left turns from Bentley will be allowed once this change is made.

Westbound left turns from Ga. 371/Post Road onto Bentley Road will remain as they are today.

Specific work hours and lane closures will be communicated in the coming weeks. Currently, the completion date for these improvements is Friday, Nov. 8.

Forsyth County will partner in the improvements along Ga. 371/Post Road by installing a traffic signal at the intersection of Pittman Road. The county will generate the signal design, apply for the permit, and install the signal. GDOT will provide the signal equipment.

This collaborative effort will allow this project to be done quickly and increase safety for Post Road and Pittman Road drivers.
