Hwy. 54 West road work will speed up soon Local residents will begin to see more road construction work in the area of Ga. Highway 54 west in Peachtree City where the new Home Depot store is being built. Contractors have agreed to speed up the construction of the various road improvements that were required for the Home Depot and Wal-Mart projects. Crews will begin working evenings and weekends to speed up completion of the projects, according to city officials. The various road improvements, which include an extra westbound lane, are expected to be completed in April. Officials hope that the improvements will help traffic congestion in the area during peak driving times until the highway is widened to four lanes by the DOT, a project that's supposed to be finished by 2004. Meanwhile, local residents can expect a flurry of trucks between Friday at 10 p.m. and midnight Saturday. That's the time frame Compass Construction has to begin its installation of the concrete foundation for the building, which will become the largest retail structure in the city. City officials signed off on the time frame to minimize the impact on traffic in the area. John Munford
