Here are some things to keep an eye out for on the road this week, according to Peachtree City officials.
The city’s paving contractor will be working on large patching projects next week on Peachtree Parkway North (by Neely Fire Station 82 near Fresh Market) and on Flat Creek Road. Work is expected to begin June 15 and should take about two days to complete. Please expect some delays and lane closures in this area during the project.
Peachtree City will be starting bridge repair work (pile painting, concrete repair, joint repairs, guardrail installation, scour repair, etc.) on the Kelly Drive/McIntosh trail bridge (just below Lake Peachtree), Flat Creek Road bridge (between Golfview Drive and County Club Court), and Smokerise Trace (both bridges).
The work is scheduled to start on June 22 on the Kelly Drive bridge, then move to the Flat Creek bridge and then the Smokerise bridges. The entire contract is slated to take 90 days.
Traffic will be impacted in these areas due to contractor vehicles being in the area and performing the work. The most significant impacts will be the Flat Creek and Kelly Drive bridges. For Flat Creek, it will be necessary to close one lane of travel on this bridge for the duration of the construction (about 4 weeks). For the Kelly Drive bridge there will be temporary lane closures while they replace the joints on the bridge deck. Please drive with extra caution in these areas while work is ongoing.
The path from the cul-de-sac in Preston Circle to Wisdom Road was damaged during the heavy rains last week and will be closed for several weeks for repairs. Residents can bypass this path via Chase Court.
The Water and Sewerage Authority is rehabilitating the sanitary sewer lines up and down Pebblestump, Hilltop, and Elm. The work will be a mix of pipe bursting, open excavation, and manhole lining. Please avoid the construction areas and the materials and equipment near Pebblepocket Park. This project should be completed in late July.
The Overlook at Line Creek (at the intersection of Line Creek and Hwy. 54) has been issued a clearing and grading permit, which means that there will be an increase in truck traffic in the very near future. Please drive with caution in this area of Hwy. 54 W.
Development has begun for the Everton at Wilksmoor subdivision, and tree removal is about to begin for the extension of MacDuff Parkway. The only access for construction traffic at this time is MacDuff Parkway and Hwy. 54. Please drive with caution in that area and keep an eye out for construction vehicles entering the highway.
Replacement of the storm drainage system in Preston Chase has been temporary delayed until the relocation of additional utility lines is been completed. The City is anticipating a 30- to 45-day delay, with completion expected by mid-September.
The Saddlebrook Drive/Pacers Walk stormwater project should be completed by the end of June. Roads will remain open to vehicular traffic.
The Peachtree City Recycling Center is partially closed for construction and currently only accepting e-waste and yard waste. The recycling center remains open on Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays for these items only. Residents may drop off other recyclables at the McIntosh Trail recycling station by Public Works (open all hours).
