CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — More money is being poured into improving Hamilton County’s roads, and we’ve got the list of which roads will soon benefit.
That money is to the tune of $5.8 million, and Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp announced he’s proposing adding that much into the County Roads Improvement Fund. It’s the second year he’s made such an announcement, with projects that are outside of the county’s routine maintenance budget.
Here’s the list of proposed projects:
- Design for the expansion of Hilltop Drive between Hunter Road and Volkswagen Drive
- Capacity upgrades to East Brainerd Road from Cherokee Valley Road to Bentwood Cove Drive
- A new roundabout at East Brainerd Road and London Lane
- A new roundabout at Thrasher Pike and Gann Road
- Capacity and safety improvements to Sam Powell Trail
- Bridge replacement on Boy Scout Road over North Chickamauga Creek
- Culvert replacement at Standifer Gap and Bill Reed Road
- Road reclamation for Fuller Road
- Road reclamation for Daisy Dallas Road
- Stormwater upgrades to Montlake Road
- Subgrade repairs to Thatch Road
The $5.8 million investment would support major road improvement projects in high-trac and high-need areas across the county, including several in District 7, represented by Commissioner Lee Helton.
“I appreciate Mayor Wamp’s commitment to improving the roads in my district and throughout Hamilton County,” said Helton. “Investments like these are critical to relieving congestion, improving safety, and strengthening infrastructure throughout the county.”…
