Construction begins this Week on SR 347

This week contractors with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will begin work on State Route 347 at the intersection of Grand Reunion Drive.  Crews with Vertical Earth, Inc. will begin work to construct a Reduced Conflict U-Turn (RCUT) on State Route 347 at the intersection of Grand Reunion Drive.  Single-lane closures are allowed between the hours of 7pm overnight to 6am and 9am until 2:30pm daily, Monday through Friday.  An RCUT is an intersection design that reduces crashes by changing how minor road traffic crosses or turns left at a major road reducing the potential conflict with other vehicles. At an RCUT, minor road traffic must turn right. Left turn and through movements from the minor road are accomplished through the use of a downstream U-turn. All movements (left, though, and right) are allowed from the major road.  Please slow down and drive alert through the work zone. This project is part of the Quick Response program and has a completion date 45 days from the day the work begins.
