Ga. 369 Widening, Ga. 400 Interchange Open House Set For Tuesday

FORSYTH COUNTY, GA — Residents are invited to attend a public information open house meeting to learn more about the upcoming widening of Ga. 369 and creation of a partial cloverleaf interchange at Ga. 369 and Ga. 400. Final construction plans for both project components will be available during the informal open house from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, at Coal Mountain Elementary School,3455 Coal Mountain Dr. Engineering staff will be available to answer questions.

“The purpose of this open house is to offer the public an opportunity to view the construction plans for the components of both projects and to ask questions,” said Forsyth County Director of Engineering John Cunard.

Widening of Ga. 369/Browns Bridge Rd.: Plans call for widening from an existing two-lane roadway just west of Ga. 9 to slightly east of Ga. 306. The distance of the widening project is approximately 2.4 miles. The proposed typical section of Ga. 369 would include four 12-foot wide travel lanes (two lanes in each direction) with a 20-foot wide raised median, eight-foot wide enhanced sidewalk along the south side of the road and five-foot wide sidewalks along the north. The right-of-way is anticipated to be a corridor width of 120 feet along the Ga. 369 mainline.

Ga. 369/Ga. 400 Interchange Upgrade: In addition to the proposed roadway widening, the project will change the existing signalized intersection of Ga. 400 and Ga. 369 to a grade-separated, partial cloverleaf interchange.

Funding for the widening and intersection upgrade comes from the Forsyth County Transportation Bond, approved by voters in 2014, as well other county and Georgia Department of Transportation funding.

Written statements concerning the project will be accepted until Nov. 29. Written statements may be submitted to:
