Will provide second way in and out of Wilksmoor Village
Construction of the long-awaited bridge at MacDuff Parkway and Senoia Road in Peachtree City is now a work in progress. Weather permitting, the bridge is expected to open for traffic by early fall.
Though MacDuff Parkway is complete, extending from Kedron Drive at Ga. Highway 74 North on the north side to Ga. Highway 54 West on the south side, the bridge is the final link in the chain to be completed so that traffic can begin using the completed parkway.
Once opened, the residents of Wilksmoor Village on the city’s west side will have two ways in and out of the area.
When it comes to construction of the bridge, Peachtree City Manager Jon Rorie at the Dec. 1 council meeting said CSX announced that a required flagman will be stationed at the bridge site at the parkway and Senoia Road.
While there is no defining timeline for the bridge project, Rorie said the bridge should be completed by August or September, weather permitting.
The developer bears the cost of both the parkway extension and the bridge.
The existing subdivisions in Wilksmoor Village, including one apartment complex, have a total of 1,454 units, while the three subdivisions approved for construction total 1,329 units. In total, Wilksmoor will eventually have 2,783 units.
The developer is permitted a maximum of 100 certificates of occupancy in new subdivisions prior to the final completion of the parkway and bridge. And to date, few homes have been constructed along the parkway.
