The proposed project is located in central Cherokee County, partially in the City of Canton. The project begins 0.34 miles east of I-575 in the City of Canton and ends 0.15 miles east of CR 281/Scott Road. The proposed roadway will consist of three 12-ft lanes in each direction, a 20-ft raised median with breaks at major intersections, and sidewalks on each side. The project is in the preliminary phase. With a ROW Authorization of June 2017, and a Letting date of June 2018.
The proposed project would widen SR 20 from a two lane rural section to a four lane urban section from approximately 1,000 feet west of Mountain Ridge Road to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Gwinnett County.
The typical section will include four- through lanes, a 44-foot grassed median, 16-foot shoulders, curb & gutter on the outside pavement edges, and five-foot concrete sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. Design will accommodate for the future widening of two additional lanes. Project length is 3.91 miles.

This project is the widening and reconstruction of SR 20 from just south of Samples Road/CR 80 to James Burgess Road/CR 450 for a total of 2.68 miles. The purpose of the project is to improve east-west mobility along SR 20, which serves as a primary arterial between Forsyth County and Gwinnett County in this location.
With SR 20 experiencing high traffic volumes today, the widening of this section of roadway will reduce congestion and improve safety on this important east-west arterial. The proposed construction will provide two lanes in each direction with a 44 foot grass median. This section includes two, 12’ travel lanes in each direction, 4 foot paved inside shoulders, and 16 foot outside shoulder, which will include curb and gutter. A 5 foot sidewalk will be provided on both sides of SR 20. Type “B” median crossovers will be utilized for left turns where applicable.
