Morris Road just shifted, and the finish line's in sight
If you drive Morris Road, you've probably felt the change: between Bethany Bend and the Webb Road roundabout, both lanes have moved from the left side to the right of what will eventually be a wider, four-lane road (two lanes each way). The city says it shouldn't change your commute; these intermittent shifts are routine for a project this size.
And there's real progress up and down the corridor. The 10-foot multi-use path and 5-foot sidewalk are each about 80% done, demolition of the old Webb Road roundabout is finished, and crews are pouring fresh concrete while preserving the center island. When it's complete, the roundabout gets decorative colored concrete, a landscaped median, new stormwater infrastructure, and sod that's already taking root.
The widening runs from the Deerfield Avenue/Webb Road roundabout up to McGinnis Ferry, where GDOT just opened the new GA-400 interchange. Target completion for the TSPLOST-funded project: this September.
