Emory Village Roundabout Construction Under Way

 The curtain has lifted on the long-awaited Emory Village roundabout and roadway project on North Decatur Road, just outside Emory's main campus. The $2.1 million, 10-month DeKalb County project will improve the aesthetics, traffic flow and streetscapes on the heavily traveled North Decatur Road corridor between Clifton Road and the Lullwater Road roundabout; parts of Oxford Road will also be affected.
In addition to replacing the multi-dimensional intersection with a roundabout, DeKalb County is also adding a "road diet" on North Decatur Road through Emory Village. This will allow for one lane of through traffic in each direction, center turn lanes, bike lanes, improved pedestrian access and sidewalks. These improvements will moderate traffic flow through Emory Village, and support it as a community gathering spot.
"The finished project will include new benches, street lights and over 50 new trees," said Lois Berthaume, President of Alliance to Improve Emory Village, a non-profit group dedicated to improvements in Emory Village. "We encourage patrons of Village merchants to continue to visit shops and restaurants during the construction."
The construction project is scheduled for completion next June. Watch for periodic updates at www.emoryvillage.org.
