Construction begins at Long Island Drive and Mount Vernon Highway in Sandy Springs
Summary
Crews have started clearing and installing erosion control at the intersection of Long Island Drive and Mount Vernon Highway in Sandy Springs. A presenter said a new alignment and coordinated traffic signal with Hammond Drive should be in place by late this year or early next, with temporary minor delays expected.
Construction work has begun at the intersection of Long Island Drive and Mount Vernon Highway in Sandy Springs, a presenter said, with crews clearing the site and installing erosion-control measures ahead of traffic-signal installation.
According to the presenter, work had been paused earlier so construction could be synchronized with the delivery of traffic signal equipment, which can take months. That timing, the presenter said, is intended to minimize traffic interruptions that would occur if crews had to stop and restart work while waiting for equipment.
The presenter said motorists may see slight delays while clearing and erosion-control work is underway. He provided an expected completion window of "by the end of this year or early next," describing the finished intersection as having a new alignment and a new traffic signal. The presenter added that a special system will coordinate the new signal with the signal at Hammond Drive to improve traffic flow.
The transcript does not identify the presenting organization or provide details on funding, contract awards, or permitting.
