Heads up, Peachtree City dwellers and visitors—if you're planning to navigate the local paths or roads over the next couple of weeks, you'll need to be aware of a few detours due to ongoing maintenance and construction projects. Peachtree City has announced some important updates that could impact your travel plans.
Starting from June 23 to 30, the multi-use path tunnels under Braelinn Road will be closed for a facelift. The tunnels between Hampton Green and Pleasance Grove are set to be repainted, and for safety reasons, they will be inaccessible during this period. Never fear, detour maps are on hand to assist you in rerouting your journey. Don't hesitate to reach out to the Engineering Department at (770) 487-5183 for more details on this project.
In another part of town, those who rely on the intersection of Redwine Road and Robinson Road will need to consider alternative routes. The closure—which is in effect from Monday, June 16, through Friday, June 20—is to accommodate the paving stage of the Starr’s Mill Tunnel Project. But don’t worry, adequate signposting should guide you through the approximately 3-mile detour. This tunnel is not just a construction project; it's a stride towards enhanced safety for pedestrians and a smoother ride for motorists, aiming to ease traffic woes by eliminating the current at-grade crossing. Questions can be directed to Fayette County Public Works at 770-320-6010 or via email at [email protected].
Meanwhile, nature enthusiasts have a reason to smile as the Wetland Trail walking bridge at Line Creek Nature Area has reopened. This upgrade is a boon for those who seek solace amidst the greenery. However, "as we carry out essential maintenance to restore the bridge and improve long-term accessibility," the "Creek Trail" bridge remains closed, the city informs us. They're committed to ensuring all trails remain safe and enjoyable, so they direct you to other trails open for exploration in the meantime. Updates will come through the city's weekly newsletter, The Slice, or on social media, but for immediate concerns, the Recreation and Special Events Department is on hand at (770) 631-2525.
