Forsyth County is one of the fastest growing counties in the nation, yes. And therefore, also one of the most congested. But not to worry, the county is working (slowly) on a solution. Hwy 141/Peachtree Parkway is being widened as I type. I am serious, I actually drove to one of the three Publix's within 3 miles of my house today and saw not just one worker but actually about 4 workers out on the road today. I think that is a project record! But seriously, the lines on one side are started to be painted and hopefully they will be opening up another section before school starts again in August.
Also today, I read that the construction from a 2-lane to 4-lane road of Hwy 20 in Cumming has taken the next step by receiving Environmental Assessment approval. This project will include a 44-foot grassed median from Samples Road in Forsyth County to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Gwinnett County. They say it will take 2 1/2 to 3 years to complete (translation - 5 years minimum) and is not expected to begin for several years.
Other road projects include Union Hill Rd, McGinnis Ferry Rd, Old Atlanta Rd, and Kelly Mill. Check out the Forsyth County Transportation Website for more details.
