Significant infrastructure upgrades are planned for Atlanta residents traveling along Perry Boulevard and West Marietta Street. Mayor Andre Dickens and District 9 City Councilmember Dustin Hillis have announced a major resurfacing project set to begin tomorrow. The work will cover the stretch from Hollywood Road to Marietta Boulevard and is intended to improve road safety and provide smoother travel for commuters. To minimize disruption, most of the work will take place at night.
"Investing in our infrastructure is investing in the future of Atlanta. This resurfacing project will improve safety, enhance mobility and provide smoother commutes for thousands of drivers each day," said Mayor Dickens. The City of Atlanta's official announcement states that measures to reduce disruption will include clear signage and traffic advisories displayed throughout the project. Councilmember Hillis, who has supported the upgrade, notes the expected improvements to conditions for residents.
Councilmember Hillis expressed his approval of the project's start, stating, "The improvements will not only extend the life of this critical corridor but also improve the quality of life for everyone who lives along and travels these streets." According to information released by the City of Atlanta, residents can expect their roads to be restored to modern standards through milling, resurfacing, and restriping efforts.
The significance of the initiative has been recognized, with key figures such as COO LaChandra Burks and ATLDOT Commissioner Solomon Caviness playing essential roles. Their teams’ collaboration and dedication were crucial in advancing the resurfacing project. Councilmember Hillis acknowledged this effort, stating, "I want to thank Mayor Dickens, COO LaChandra Burks, ATLDOT Commissioner Solomon Caviness and each of their respective teams for their partnership and commitment to making this project a reality."
