Roswell To Break Ground On Ga. 9/Oxbo Road Intersection

ROSWELL, GA — The City of Roswell will host a groundbreaking ceremony for its Oxbo Road Intersection project at noon on Monday at 685 Atlanta Street, Roswell. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The project includes the realignment of Oxbo Road and Oxbo Drive to eliminate the staggered intersection at Ga. 9/Atlanta Street and to convert Oxbo Drive to a two-way street between Mimosa Boulevard and Ga. 9/Atlanta Street. The project also provides new turning lanes on both Ga. 9/Atlanta Street and Oxbo Road, adds a new traffic signal at the intersection, and extends Elm Street from its existing terminus at Maple Street to the intersection of Oxbo Road and Pleasant Hill Street. In addition, Pleasant Hill Street will become a two-way street between Oxbo Road and Oak Street.

Construction will begin in February, with completion anticipated July 2021. Drivers can expect to see temporary road closures and detours during active construction. The City of Roswell will alert the public to any such closures before they occur via press release and social media.

This project is funded through the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST), which was approved by Roswell voters in November 2016. Total cost for this project is approximately $11.8 million, which includes $629,000 for design, $5.2 million for right-of-way acquisition, and just under $6 million for construction.
