Cedarcrest Road is a hvo-lane roadway that runs approximately 6.7 miles between US 41/Cobb Parkway northwest in Cobb County and the SR 92/SR 381 intersection (DaJias Acworth Highway) with the Hiram Acworth Highway (SR 92) at the Cross Roads community of Paulding County. This project's study area would begin at Cedarcrest Road's intersection with Harmony Grove Church Road, approximately 2.6 miles north/west of the intersection of Cedarcrest Road and SR 92. The proposed improvements would continue north/east to the intersection of Cedarcrest Road with Governors Towne Drive, approximately 0.25 miles west of the intersection of Cedarcrest Road and US 41/Cobb Parkway Northwest. The total project length is approximately 3.8 miles. In the study area, Cedarcrest Road currently has a functional classification of urban minor arterial and currently consists of two 11-foot travel lanes with grass shoulders of varying width between five and ten feet. The roadway's posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour mph. The width of the road's ROW in the study area varies between 50 and 100 feet throughout the length of the corridor.
The proposed project would widen Cedarcrest Road from Harmony Grove Church Road to Governors Towne Drive to four 12-foot lanes. The typical section would also include a 20-foot raised median, outside curb and gutter, 10-foot shoulders and 5-foot sidewalks along both sides of the roadway. Median breaks would be provided for vehicle turning at key intersections and rnidblock locations. The roadway's posted speed limit would be 45 mph. The proposed ROW in the study area would be 100 feet in width.
