ROSWELL — Residents of Roswell will soon experience better road conditions as the city undergoes a massive road resurfacing program this summer.
A contract worth $3,734,013.95 was recently approved by mayor and city council with Allied Paving Contractors, which will help fund the repaving of 38 roads in the city, totaling 11.54 miles.
The resurfacing project will kick off on June 19, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by the end of summer. The project will cover some of the city’s key roads, including Shallowford Road, Etris Road, and Elkins Road.
Roswell’s Transportation Department, with the support of the City Council, conducted an annual road rating program, which evaluated all roadways and assigned a Pavement Condition Index score based on national standards. Roads with the lowest scores were given priority and placed on the resurfacing list.
Funding for the project will come from multiple sources, including the Georgia Department of Transportation’s Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant funds set aside annually for street resurfacing, as well as funds in the city’s own annual budget for repaving.
According to Roswell Councilmember Lee Hills, the liaison to the Transportation Department, “Our roadways in Roswell touch every person who lives in or visits our amazing city. We are delighted to continue to invest in resurfacing and maintaining our roadways, citywide.”
Below are the roads that are set to be resurfaced.
