McIntosh Parkway
Crews were busy with utility relocation for the McIntosh Parkway project Wednesday. East Washington Street will be widened and improved, and a new road will be built heading towards Greison Trail. A roundabout is planned for the intersection of Greison Trail and McIntosh Parkway, and the parkway will become four lanes once it passes Grieson, and will intersect with an existing section in Ashley Park. Grading and storm drain and culvert installation is taking place between Greison Trail and Ashley Park, and utilities must be moved along East Washington to make room for the improved roadway. The current utility work is moving water and sewer lines. The city of Newnan is currently working out details with Georgia Power for relocation of the power poles, said Michael Klahr, Newnan Public Works director.
