District III Commissioner Gary Barham, District IV Commissioner Blake Prince and District I Commissioner Johnny Wilson, joined by SPLOST and other County officials were on hand to cut the ribbon on the newly opened roundabout at East Lake Rd and SR 20 in McDonough on Monday, February 13. The roundabout was approved by GDOT as the only option for improvements to the intersection, which had been the scene of several serious accidents over the years. According to Roque Romero, Henry County’s SPLOST Transportation Director, SR 20 is a state roadway under control of the Georgia Department of Transportation, and after conducting studies of the East Lake/SR 20 intersection, GDOT officials determined that a roundabout was the correct course of action for safety improvements at the intersection.
