Summary
Peachtree City officials said the Georgia Department of Transportation is leading a $19 million intersection upgrade at Highways 54 and 74. Most work is scheduled at night to avoid daytime lane closures, but Georgia Power will close lanes Sunday morning, April 27, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. for pole and high-voltage line relocations.
A city official announced Peachtree City is coordinating with the Georgia Department of Transportation on a $19 million intersection upgrade at the corner of Highways 54 and 74 that is currently underway.
The official said the project is state‑owned and run by the Georgia Department of Transportation and that, to minimize daytime disruption, most work will be performed at night with no lane closures during the day. "That's fortunate for us because this is a $19,000,000 project. It is well run and it's coming in on time so far," the official said.
The official added that Georgia Power must relocate power poles and high‑voltage lines and that those relocations cannot be done at night. As a result, there will be lane closures on Sunday, April 27, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the intersection of Highways 54 and 74. Residents were asked to avoid the intersection that morning if possible to allow the utility to work safely and to keep the project on schedule.
The announcement did not include a traffic detour plan, specific lane(s) to be closed, or a vote by the council; it was presented as an operational update. The official described the contractor's work as on schedule but did not provide a target completion date for the whole project.
