The City of South Fulton Public Works Department has scheduled a temporary detour on Danforth Road from June 3rd to June 7th, 2024. This detour, active from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily, is necessary for Georgia Power to relocate utilities for the Danforth Road Sidewalk project.

The project aims to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility on Danforth Road, from Cascade Road to Rehoboth Circle. It includes building 0.50 miles of 5-foot wide sidewalks compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), along with new curbs, gutters, and stormwater structures.

Traffic will be rerouted via Cascade Road, New Hope Road, Heatherland Drive, and Niskey Lake Road to minimize disruption. This route will allow local traffic access to all addresses on Danforth Road during the detour.

The sidewalk improvements will include a two-foot-wide stamped concrete strip and pedestrian lighting, enhancing the area's appearance. These upgrades are part of South Fulton’s ongoing efforts to improve city infrastructure and pedestrian facilities.
