Highway 78 and 124 Intersection Project
What is a Displaced Left Turn?
SNELLVILLE – Construction on the Displaced Left-Turn project at the intersection of highways 78 and 124 is not expected to start until after Labor Day, construction officials said Tuesday.
City officials attended a Georgia Department of Transportation pre-construction meeting. Based on that meeting City officials are able to share the following information and schedule:
- The proposed construction start date is not set, though construction is expected to begin sometime after Labor Day.
- Work on the utilities has already begun along with site preparation not affecting traffic lanes.
- The contractor will concentrate on Henry Clower Boulevard in the fall, but did not share a startup date at the meeting. Henry Clower Boulevard will serve as a convenient bypass when intersection construction actually begins.
- The 78/124 intersection road work will not be fully started until good construction weather is available in 2018 - likely in the spring.
In July 2017, the Georgia Department of Transportation selected Pittman Construction Co. for the intersection improvements.
The project is anticipated to take 18 to 24 months for completion.
