A meeting will be held later this month on the planned reconstruction of a major Forsyth County intersection and the widening of one of the two roads at that crossroads.
The public information open house will cover plans for the Browns Bridge Road (SR 369)/Georgia 400 (SR 400) intersection, which includes the creation of a "partial cloverleaf" interchange and widening of a portion of Browns Bridge Road.
County officials say final construction plans for both project components will be available during the meeting which will be held 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Nov. 19, at Coal Mountain Elementary School (3455
Coal Mountain Dr.). Members of the county's engineering staff will be available to answer questions.
“The purpose of this open house is to offer the public an opportunity to view the construction plans for the components of both projects and to ask questions,” said Forsyth County Director of Engineering John Cunard.
*Widening of SR 369/Browns Bridge Rd. - Plans call for widening from an existing two-lane roadway just west of SR 9 to slightly east of SR 306. The distance of the widening project is approximately 2.4 miles. The proposed typical section of SR 369 would include four 12-foot wide travel lanes (two lanes in each direction) with a 20-foot wide raised median, eight-foot-wide enhanced sidewalk along the southside of the road and five-foot-wide sidewalks along the north. The right-of-way is anticipated to be a corridor width of 120 feet along the SR 369 mainline.
*SR 369/SR 400 Interchange Upgrade - In addition to the proposed roadway widening, the project will change the existing signalized intersection of SR 400 and SR 369 to a grade-separated, partial cloverleaf interchange.
