The proposed project would consist of the widening of 2.9 miles of Atlanta Highway (SR 9) from Peachtree Parkway (SR 141) northeast to Buford Highway (SR 20), in order to improve safety and serve future projected traffic volumes. The existing two-lane road has a rural section with 24 feet of pavement and five-foot shoulders on 100 feet of right-of-way. The proposed widening would provide four 12-foot lanes, a 20-foot raised median, and 16-foot outside shoulders with curb and gutter and sidewalk. The proposed right-of-way would be approximately 130 feet, with additional area required for right-of-way along turn lanes and for construction easements. Traffic would be maintained on the existing road during construction.
