Two more traffic lights are on their way to heavily traveled thoroughfares in Fayette.

The County Commission last week approved hiring Atcheson Electrical Contractors to put a light at Ga. highways 74 and 85 at a cost of $24,131, and a light at Ga. Highway 54 and Sandy Creek Road for $23,638.

The 74/85 intersection has become a traffic bottleneck with the opening of the Starr's Mill school complex on 74 at Redwine Road, said assistant county manager Chris Cofty.

The Sandy Creek/54 intersection is seeing increased congestion as development springs up around Fayette Community Hospital, officials say.
