Drivers along SR 9 in Forsyth County should prepare for a new traffic pattern beginning Monday, Oct. 26. Georgia DOT announced the shift on Oct. 19 as widening work continues along the corridor. GDOT’s indexed notice confirms the date but does not spell out the exact lane configuration, so motorists should watch for construction signs, pavement markings and any updated guidance as crews put the new pattern in place. The shift is part of the ongoing effort to expand sections of SR 9 from two lanes to four lanes with a raised median and other roadway improvements. One active Forsyth segment near the Fulton County line and McFarland Road includes widening, urban shoulders and related intersection work. Because SR 9 is one of Forsyth’s main north-south routes, even a temporary traffic-pattern change could affect Monday commutes and travel times through the work zone.

Cumming is moving forward with two major utility projects aimed at expanding water and sewer capacity as development continues across the city. In its October E-News recap, the city confirmed that council approved Lakeshore Engineering’s low proposal to build a 6-million-gallon clear well at the Cumming Potable Water Production Facility, along with a new electrical control building to handle increased power demands. Council also approved UWS, Inc. to construct a new gravity sewer line replacing an existing 8-inch clay pipe running from the Foundry development along Meadow Drive to Castleberry Road. Both projects were originally approved at the Sept. 15 council meeting but remain important development-watch items because they expand or reinforce infrastructure serving areas experiencing continued growth. Council also approved the abandonment of the former Horseshoe Court right-of-way off Ronald Reagan Boulevard, across from Northside Hospital Forsyth.
