Transportation Projects
Bob Callan Trunk Trail / Phase 2 Segment B (Project No. D11M0 – 2005 SPLOST – Dist 2)
Phase 2 of this trail project was initiated by the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CCID) as a single project to provide an extension of the existing network of trails in the Cumberland Galleria area by adding a 10-foot wide trail from Interstate North Parkway to Terrell Mill Road. The total length of this project was approximately 2.1 miles.
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) approved a revised concept in July 2013 to separate Phase 2 of this project into two segments. Segment A begins at the existing Bob Callan Trailhead on Interstate North Parkway and ends at the Interstate North Parkway crossing of Rottenwood Creek. Segment B continues along Rottenwood Creek to Terrell Mill Road.
Bob Callan Trunk Trail, Phase 2, Segment B, was previously evaluated and designed based on an alignment along Rottenwood Creek. Due to identified utility and constructability conflicts discovered during the design, the alignment has been modified, resulting in the need to redesign the project.

Willeo Road over Willeo Creek (Project No. X2122 – 2016 SPLOST – Dist 2)
Construction Activities Forecast: coming soon!
View Travel Advisories/Lane Closures
Construction will require a 4-month closure of the bridge, which is expected to begin in late spring or early summer of 2021. While the exact date is yet to be determined, electronic message signs will be installed two to three weeks in advance of the closure to warn motorists to prepare for the detour.
This joint project with the City of Roswell includes a complete replacement of the existing bridge over Willeo Creek located on Willeo Road between Bywater Trail and Timber Ridge Road/Lower Roswell Road at the Cobb/Fulton County line. Construction activities for this project are scheduled to begin in the spring of 2021.

View Travel Advisories/Lane Closures
The project consists of a new thoroughfare between Windy Hill Road and Terrell Mill Road. This project will serve as a reliever for Powers Ferry Road by absorbing traffic normally traveling that route to and from Windy Hill Road and Terrell Mill Road. This project provides another route for traffic to access the I-75 Northwest Corridor Express Lanes, and the multi-use trail will provide a new trail connection to the Bob Callan Trail System.
The road will begin at the intersection of Spectrum Circle/Interstate North Parkway and Windy Hill Road and continue north, connecting at the current Bentley Road and Terrell Mill Road intersection. This will be a new four-lane road with a raised center median and will include sidewalk and a multi-use trail. The total project is approximately 0.70 miles in length. Construction for this project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2022.
