New alternatives to Martin Road widening have emerged
0117Martin
A group of Martin Road residents worry that the new Interstate 985 interchange project may overload the mostly residential stretch of road between Falcon Parkway/Ga. 13 and Winder Highway/Ga. 53 with traffic.
Hall County has developed alternatives to widening Martin Road at the planned new interchange on Interstate 985 in South Hall, or Exit 14. One option calls for leaving Martin Road as a two-lane road and in the direct path of Exit 14 traffic. But the other, likely more palatable options call for realigning Martin so that it dead-ends away from the interchange, effectively taking the mostly residential road out of the way of traffic getting off I-985.
