Roswell Construction Alert

Great news Roswell!  This coming Tuesday, January 19th, Roswell’s Department of Transportation will begin an improvement project at the intersection of Crabapple and Rucker Roads.  The improvements will include left turn lanes and sidewalks at all approaches, traffic signal upgrades and waterline and storm drain upgrades.

The even better news is that all the work will take place between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. so as to avoid morning and evening rush hours.
  
Construction is expected to be complete this summer.  But until then, expect delays along this corridor while the intersection improvements are being made.

Roswell Roadwork Alert

Finally, the nutty intersection where Crabapple and Hardscrabble Roads meet is being improved!  All Roswell (and some Alpharetta) residents are aware of this intersection.  If you ever had plans of cutting across Hardscrabble from Highway 92 to Northern Roswell, you’re well aware of this juncture.  I’m sure you’ve either sat patiently waiting for all the north/south traffic on Crabapple to clear in order for you to dash across the intersection, all the while hoping that someone turning left off of Rucker hasn’t decided to ‘surprise’ you with accelerating their speed.  Or try not to get frustrated while waiting and noticing that part of the problem is that those drivers who are turning right on Hardscrabble from Rucker aren’t making their intentions clear by using their blinker.  I’ve often counted to pass the time.  I’ve consistently found that it’s a 30% chance that someone who has felt the plight of those in the long line waiting to cross actually uses their signal.
