Cherokee County approves intersection improvement project

Improvements are coming to a congested intersection in east Cherokee County. On Tuesday, the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to award a $1,754,149 construction services agreement to R&B Developer, Inc. to improve the intersection of Holbrook Campground Road and Midway Road. This intersection is located about two miles south of Highway 20 in eastern Cherokee County. Holbrook Campground Road is a two-lane roadway that runs between Highway 20 and the Fulton County line. Midway Road is a two-lane roadway that runs between Holbrook Campground Road, eventually becoming Windward Parkway in Fulton County. The intersection is a "badly skewed 'T' intersection" with a single stop on Midway Road, according to the county, and experiences congestion in the peak periods in the morning and afternoon. This project will "correct intersection geometry," change the through movement to Midway Road and make stormwater drainage improvements, Cherokee County Manager Geoff Morton said Tuesday. Construction is expected to be completed about 180 days after the notice to proceed is issued to the contractor. The project is funded by Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax funds and is the first capital improvement project to be constructed under the referendum, Morton said. "We started receiving
