Road project 0014131: SR 20 FROM CR 281/SCOTT ROAD TO CR 762/UNION HILL ROAD
Under Construction · Widening · Cities: Not City · Funding: GEPA · This project is the widening and reconstruction of SR 20 in Cherokee County near Canton from east of Scott Rd to east of Union Hill Rd to six-lanes (three lanes in each direction) with a 20 foot raised median and urban shoulders. Access to side roads and driveways will be controlled by Restricted Crossing U-Turns (RCUTs) placed in the median; RCUT locations are shown in the layouts but may change based on preliminary design. Truck turnarounds are provided at certain RCUT locations based on consideration of adjacent facilities that may draw tractor trailers (factories, farms with chicken houses, landscaping or stone supply companies, etc. The total project length is about 2 miles. There are no bridges or other major structures.
