A pair of prominent local road projects are closer to becoming a reality. A Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank grant of $793,416 will go toward helping Gainesville get started on putting in a traffic light at the intersection of Thompson Bridge Road/Ga. 60 and Oak Tree Drive/Ga. 60 Connector and realigning Oak Tree Drive. Mayor Danny Dunagan said the money should fund the engineering and feasibility study for the project, which replaced a much-discussed potential Enota bypass.
