The South Barrett Reliever has been a major ongoing project of the Town Center Community Improvement District, and Phase 3 of the project has gotten underway.
Cobb County described the project and its current state in a news release on its website.
Here is an excerpt from the news release:
Kennesaw drivers are one step closer to getting some relief from heavy rush-hour traffic around Town Center at Barrett Parkway and I-75. Cobb County leaders joined the Town Center Community to break ground on Phase 3 of the South Barrett Reliever, a road project that will give drivers an alternate route around Barrett Parkway, one of the busiest corridors in Town Center.
Phase 3 includes a roadway from the area around the Costco, over I-75, connecting to Roberts Court by the Home Depot, and will include bike lanes and crosswalks.
The estimated cost of the project is over $36.5 million, funded by the TCCID, the Atlanta Regional Commission, Cobb DOT, Georgia DOT, and the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA).
TCCID funded the initial engineering of the project, and the Barret Parkway Reliever is part of the county’s 2016 SPLOST.
