Overview

Project Overview

The City of Tucker requested guidance on transportation safety by commissioning the North-South Connectivity Study  and identified several projects of interest. Idlewood Road is a major connector between Tucker and the surrounding area. Idlewood Road has two schools, Tucker Middle School and Idlewood Elementary School. With the growing traffic and safety concerns the North-South Connectivity Study recommended the addition of two roundabouts to keep the flow of traffic running smoothly and safely.

Construction is scheduled to begin August 10, 2026 and last 18 to 24 months for both roundabouts.

Description:

Fellowship Road and Sarr Parkway intersections on Idlewood Road are being upgraded from signals to modern urban roundabouts.

Objective:

To create smart and safer travel on one of Tucker’s busiest corridors.
