Windy Hill/ Macland Road Connector
The proposed roadway will connect Windy Hill Road to Macland Road and Powder Springs Road Traffic currently uses several different routes to get to and from Macland Road/Powder Springs Road and Windy Hill Road. Some of these include the use of Callaway Road, Milford Church Road and County Services Parkway, as well as some neighborhood streets as a cut-through. During the morning and evening rush hours these roadways become extremely congested. With traffic volumes expected to increase the traffic congestion during peak periods will continue to be a problem.

In order to alleviate this traffic congestion, a limited access east-west connection from Macland Road/Powder Springs Road to Windy Hill Road has been proposed by Cobb County. Cobb County allocated funds through the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) for the design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of this proposed roadway.

In late October of 2006 a design consultant was contracted by Cobb County to first investigate options to connect Macland Road/Powder Springs Road to Windy Hill Road and to present these options to the public. The goal of the engineering study is to identify one preferred alignment. This is generally defined as one that will be cost effective, minimize impacts to residential and commercial properties, as well as, minimize impacts to environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands and floodplains.

A project study map has been developed that identifies three alternative alignments. This is strictly a broad brush corridor map and provides a general location for alignments that are being considered.
