The Forsyth County Government announced Thursday afternoon that the Coal Mountain Connector road project is now open to the public.
The new roadway connects Browns Bridge Road to Ga. 9, starting at Browns Bridge Road's intersection with Bridgetowne Drive just west of Ga. 400 and going north, intersecting with the Settingdown Road roundabout near Coal Mountain Park and then connecting with Ga. 9 at Coal Mountain Drive.
Forsyth County officials said the new roadway was built at a cost of $10.4 million and was funded by a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank grant.
The project is also planned to provide access to a planned mixed-use development known as The Crossing at Coal Mountain. Construction on that project is underway.
