* TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS underway creating a McDonough Square Bypass by late Summer or early Fall of next year! 👏🏾

Leadership matters tackling traffic problems decade in the making!

A McDonough bypass highway is currently under construction to relieve traffic congestion on the Square, Hwy 155, and Hwy 20. This project will provide an alternative route for trucks and heavy traffic congestion around the Square.

*Key Details About the McDonough Square Bypass:*

- The bypass will route traffic around the square by connecting Hwy 155 at Henry Pkwy Connector to Hwy 20, near Phillips Drive, and the Henry County Animal Shelter at McDonough Pkwy to Jonesboro Rd, near Kroger.

- The bypass will then connect to Hwy 42/23, near Walnut Creek Elementary, to Hwy 155 at Turner Church Rd.

- This project is expected to ease congestion in the McDonough Square.

*Funding and Timeline:*

- The McDonough Pkwy extension is a T-SPLOST Project approved by voters in 2021.

- The project is funded by a penny sales tax, which will allocate over $500 to widen multiple major roads in the community over the next 5 years when you include SPLOST V, SPLOST, VI, and T-SPLOST. Adding GDOT projects traffic funding surges to over $2 billion!

- Completion of the McDonough Pkwy Extension is projected for the Fall of 2026.

*Additional Developments:*

- The Henry Pkwy Connector will be connected to the McDonough Parkway Bypass as part of the Henry County Aquatic Center 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 that will provide competition-level swimming for local high schools and an outdoor water park for residents and tourists.

*Other Upcoming Projects:*

- Rock Quarry Rd widening in Stockbridge started in September with tree clearing.

- These projects are part of the larger effort to improve road infrastructure in the community without raising property taxes.

#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.
