The traffic shift represents the final phase of an extensive project to widen and reconstruct SR 92/ Fairburn Road/Dallas Highway in Douglasville to improve mobility and safety through the corridor. Roadside signage alerts drivers of the traffic impacts in advance. Temporary lighting has been installed inside the new underpass at Highway 78 and GDOT is working to install more lighting along the new highway.
