SR 146 Improvements
From SR 1/US 27 to CR 553/Lakeview Drive

In order to reduce crashes and improve traffic flow, Georgia DOT proposes to widen Cloud Springs Road from US 27 /SR 1 to Lakeview Drive in Catoosa County for approximately 2.17 miles. The proposed project would consist of two 12 ft. travel lanes (one in each direction) from US 27 /SR 1 to Cross Street, with a 14 ft. flush median from Cross Street to Fant Drive. A 20 ft. raised median is proposed from Fant Drive to Colony Cir (East), with four 12- ft. travel lanes (two in each direction) and a 20 ft. raised median from Colony Cir (East) to Lakeview Drive, where the project ties into the existing 4 lane section at Cloud Springs Road. Shoulders would be 12 ft. wide with a sidewalk to accommodate pedestrians along the corridor. Roundabouts are proposed at the SR 146 intersections with Cross Street and Fant Drive. Cul-de-sacs are proposed at Brown Circle and Smith Lane (East).

Next Steps

After the public meeting is held, feedback will be assessed, revisions may occur to the proposed plan initially brought to the public or the no build alternative will be selected. Once a Concept Report is approved, the project alignment would be refined. If major changes occur to what was previously shown to the community, additional public outreach would occur. If no major changes are proposed, the project would advance to right-of-way acquisition and into final design. After all right-of-way acquisition occurs, project design is finalized, and the project would advance to construction.
