#Progress…. Did you know a McDonough bypass Highway is currently under construction to relieve traffic congestion on the Square and Hwy 155?
Yes, a McDonough Square bypass is under construction that will soon act as an alternative route for trucks and heavy traffic congestion around the Square. The McDonough Square Bypass will route 155 and Hwy 20 traffic around the square by connecting Hwy 155 at Henry Pkwy Connector ,near Fun Bowl, and Mercer University McDonough to Hwy 20,near Phillips Drive, and the Henry County Animal Shelter at McDonough Pkwy to Jonesboro Rd ,near Kroger. Then to Hwy 42/23 ,near Walnut Creek Elementary, to Hwy 155 at Turner Church Rd., easing congested in the McDonough Square!
The McDonough Pkwy extension to Hwy 155 is a T-SPLOST Project approved by voters in 2021. Transportation SPLOST is a penny sales tax that funds critically needed road projects in the community instead of raising property taxes even more. It is a major portion of the $2 billion we have acquired to widen almost every major road in the community over the next 5 years including Rock Quarry Rd widening in Stockbridge starting late summer.
Please note Henry Pkwy Connector will be connected to McDonough Parkway as part of the Henry County Aquatic Center access project providing access to the Aquatic Center off Hwy 20 and Hwy 155.
The Henry County Aquatic Center is a State of the Art, $50 million facility to provide completion level swimming for our local high schools and an outdoor water park for residents and tourists.
