Turn lane extension planned at UNG and Mundy Mill Road
0816Oakwood
The Georgia Department of Transportation has approved a quick response project at hugely congested Ga. 53 and Mathis Drive at the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus in Oakwood. The plan will extend the right-turn lane on Mathis Drive so that the Mathis Drive approach to Mundy Mill will feature exclusive straight-through and right- and left-turn lanes.
Relief may be coming for students and other travelers at an extra busy spot on Mundy Mill Road in Oakwood where the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus and Wal-Mart meet. The Georgia Department of Transportation is planning to extend the right-turn lane on Mathis Drive so that the Mathis Drive approach to Mundy Mill will feature exclusive straight-through and right- and left-turn lanes. “So basically, it gives extra (road) capacity coming out of the (UNG) campus,” Oakwood City Manager Stan Brown said.
