GDOT To Extend Left Turn Lane On Ga. 92 At Trickum Road

WOODSTOCK, GA — The Georgia Department of Transportation recently approved $133,141 in Quick Response Program funding to improve the Highway 92 intersection at Trickum Road in Woodstock.

Work on this high priority project, awarded to Bartow Paving Company, Inc., is now underway, and is expected to be completed in two weeks. The project calls for extending the left turn lane on Ga. 92 at its intersection with Trickum Road "in order to enhance safety and improve the flow of traffic at this intersection," Georgia DOT said.

“Upon completion, this Quick Response project will help improve the flow of traffic on S.R. 92, make it safer and help the public get where they need to go in Cherokee County,” said Grant Waldrop, assistant district engineer at the DOT office in Cartersville.

Work on this project will occasionally require lane closures, which will be limited to the hours of 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Motorists should be aware of the advanced warning signs and watch out for contractor personnel and vehicles in this work zone.

The Quick Response Program supports low cost operational projects on Georgia's State Route system such as restriping, intersection improvements, turn lane additions and extensions. These project can be implemented in a short period of time and typically cost less than $200,000. They generally stay within the state right-of-way and require little, if any, utility relocation. Quick Response projects are identified by Georgia DOT staff and managed through the Office of Local Grants.
