The Georgia Department of Transportation announces a new traffic signal at State Route 9 and Spot Road in Forsyth County. The signal is currently in test mode and should be operational Thursday, March 5, weather permitting.
Each intersection is reviewed to determine if the intersection meets the federal guidelines for the installation of a traffic signal. The intersection of State Route 9 and Spot Road met those requirements. The signal should be operational by mid-morning on Thursday, March 5.
DOT and the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office will monitor the area to ensure drivers are following the new traffic signal.
This intersection work is part of a construction project that will upgrade seven intersections in Forsyth County. Six of the intersections are along SR 9; AC Smith Road, Spot Road, SR 371, Hamby Road, Majors Road and Castleberry Road. One of the intersections is on SR 20 at SR 371. This project is currently on schedule for its December 31 completion date and has a construction cost of $8.2 million.
