Transportation is a key item of concern of the City of Locust Grove as much as it for much of the residents in the Atlanta Metropolitan Region.

The City works with Henry County, the Georgia Department of Transportation and the Atlanta Regional Commission for the coordination and planning of mobility projects throughout our immediate area.

Currently, the City is working with GDOT and ARC on the inclusion of planning money in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the Bethlehem Road Interchange as well as for possible new local projects to enhance safety and reduced congestion.

The City and County have a Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) to assess the existing transportation system and develop solutions that are scored for inclusion in a proposed Work Plan staged by time of need (Immediate, Mid-Range, Longer Range). Below are the documents related to the most recent (2016) CTP:

• Executive Summary
• Part I - Introduction and Table of Contents
• Part II - Existing Conditions
• Part III - Needs Assessment
• Part IV - Summary and Recommended Action Plan
• Appendix A - Immediate Projects
• Appendix A - Mid-Range Projects
• Appendix A - Long-Range Projects
• Unconstrained Project Listing

Locally, we are working on improvements to Market Place Boulevard and SR 42 for signalization as well as improvements to Bill Gardner Parkway under the I-75 Interchange to free up movement through this critical congestion point.

For the Future, we are working in draft form a local wish-list of transportation and mobility projects to incorporate vehicle, freight, pedestrian and bicycle movements at an estimated cost of over $320 million that will require revenues from Federal, State, and Local sources. This plan will be refined further to approximate the amount of revenues we can reasonably expect for the list of projects and their benefit to the overall area.

Henry County is growing… fast! Having great transit options could help relieve some traffic congestion. See FAQs about the project to learn more about the TMP by visiting http://www.henrytransitmasterplan.com/feedback.html and leave a comment.

We want to hear from YOU! Henry County is growing! We’re planning for the future by developing a Transit Master Plan (TMP) that will provide a 30-year vision for the development and implementation of transit services throughout the county. Take this survey today and help shape how Henry County moves tomorrow and beyond!

The Henry County TMP will provide a 30-year vision for development and implementation of transit services throughout Henry County, including short, mid, and long-term recommendations for capital and operational improvements.
