Milton Begins Road Repair Projects on Tuesday

Did you see the flashing signs? Several Milton roads will be patched and repaired starting on Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Carter Lucas, Milton's director of Public Works, said the work is expected to last 45 days, depending on weather, and crews will be working from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. The roads affected will be open to traffic but reduced to one lane.

"Drivers should expect delays in the work areas and find alternate routes if possible," said Lucas. "Please use extreme caution in the work zones."

There will be message boards on the affected roads prior to work starting, said Lucas.

Following is a list of the roads to be patched or repaired:

• Webb Road from Morris Road to Cogburn Road
• New Bullpen Road from Birmingham Highway (Ga. 372) to city limit
• Thompson Road from Redd Road to Tabbystone Pass
• Freemanville Road from Providence Road to the bridge over Chicken Creek
• Nix Road and a portion of Brittle Road will also receive repair work as needed

The cost of these projects is $1.49 million and the work was awarded to the lowest bidder, Marietta-based Blount Construction Company, Inc.
