PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Old Smyrna Road Improvement Project will be conducted in two phases and aims to enhance safety, traffic flow, and accessibility in the area. These improvements will primarily focus on the intersection of Jones Parkway and Old Smyrna Road, as well as additional upgrades along the road. The goal is to create a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians while improving the overall infrastructure.
Below are the key areas that will be addressed during this project:
Roundabout Installation at Jones Parkway & Old Smyrna Road
• A roundabout will replace the existing stop sign.
• This change aims to improve safety and reduce stop conditions on major arterial roads.
Roadway Enhancements
• Elimination of steep drop-offs on the sides of the road to improve safety.
• Raising the road to be level with the surrounding ground.
• Widening the roadway to support two-way traffic, making it safer for vehicles and providing space for pedestrians and cyclists.
Pedestrian and Cyclist Accommodation
• Possible installation of dedicated pedestrian walkways and bike lanes.
• A potential traffic-calming circle at the Wells Boulevard entrance to the Harlan Subdivision to reduce speeding and improve safety.
Sidewalk Installation
• A new sidewalk will be added to enhance pedestrian accessibility and safety during the second phase of the project.
All information subject to change. These improvements are designed to create a safer and more efficient roadway for all users, contributing to a better traffic experience and community infrastructure.
