The Camp and Folly Improvement project is slated to begin sometime in the next few weeks. The first portion of the project will be repaving. Finally! This will be done at night.
After that, there will be a long, 18 month project that mostly involves drainage improvements--larger storm water pipes under Folly Road. This should help with the occasional flooding of this intersection.
The project will also involve a widening of Folly Road and two turn lanes going east on Camp. This should allow for improved traffic flow on Folly. There will also be a dedicated left turn land on the west side of Camp going south on Folly. You know, the place where the giant potholes have developed for years.
Finally, the project will extend sidewalks along Folly Road. They will go up to Chick-fil-A and to Bi-Lo and down to the vacant Burger King and past Goodwill. There will still be much to do regarding sidewalks on Folly Road, but it will be an important step forward.
Good to hear this is finally starting. Much needed work being done. Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteAnother waste of time and money that does not help traffic flow. still only 2 lanes on Folly and no room for expansion. Why repave first?
