Starting Sunday, a Lower Roswell Road repaving project will begin that will take up to a month to complete.

This is separate from the East Cobb Pipeline Project that is almost complete. Some work crews are still testing pipes and doing other cleanup work on Lower Roswell around the Sope Creek Bridge, and repaving will get underway after that and continue into the fall.

The repaving that gets underway this weekend will take place at night, and it will be done in two stages.

The first stage, on Lower Roswell between Terrell Mill Road and Holt Road, will take place nightly between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. According to Cobb DOT, it’s expected to be done by Oct. 15.

After that, and for another two-week stretch, the Lower Roswell Road repaving will continue west from Holt to the 120 Loop.

That segment of the project, expected to be finished next spring, includes widening Lower Roswell, signal modifications, adding left and right turn lanes and a constructing a five-foot sidewalk on the west side.

While that work continues, the new Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center will be completed next to (and replacing) the East Marietta Library on Lower Roswell.

During the hours of the repaving, traffic on Lower Roswell Road will be reduced to one lane.

Here’s the Cobb DOT fact sheet for the project.
