UPCOMING ROAD IMPROVEMENTS – CURTIS PARKWAY & DEWS POND ROAD

The City of Calhoun is moving forward with roadway improvements designed to improve traffic flow and safety at one of the area’s busiest intersections.

The project includes construction of a new roundabout at Curtis Parkway and Dews Pond Road, along with an extension of the queuing lane on Curtis Parkway to Laurel Creek Road.

These improvements are intended to better accommodate daily traffic volumes, particularly during school arrival and dismissal times when traffic congestion can extend along Curtis Parkway.

In addition to the roundabout and additional queuing lane, the project will include roadway paving, drainage improvements, sidewalks, curb and gutters, signage, pavement markings, and landscaping.

We look forward to completing these improvements and providing a safer and more efficient transportation corridor for our residents and motorists.
