Home MenuRedd Road Improvements
Redd Road is a key corridor serving several neighborhoods and connecting two major roadways -- Freemanville and Hopewell roads -- in Milton. And it's feeling the strain of increased traffic and residential growth that have both contributed to congestion, operational deficiencies at intersections, and safety concerns. The Redd Road project aims to help address these issues through intersection and roadway improvements that align with the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
The citizens who know this road best will help drive this process, including by attending a public meeting on March 25, 2026, in Community Place. To view a zoomable version of the draft concept ideas for the Redd Road corridor that were discussed at that meeting, CLICK HERE or on the image below. (Potential new trail and/or sidewalk recommendations have since been removed from the current scope to allow the Milton Trails Advisory Committee and other ongoing planning efforts to further evaluate and prioritize future roadside trail needs independently from this roadway effort.)
Future opportunities for citizens to weigh in -- including an additional meeting -- are expected later this year. These will allow the public to share their valuable feedback based on revised recommendations, which are are being refined to focus on targeted roadway safety improvements (and not new trail or sidewalk recommendations).
This project aims to improve three major intersections. Planned improvements at Freemanville and Redd are already being designed and were included in the overall evaluation.
Transportation improvements are being considered at these intersections:
- Hopewell Road and Redd Road
- Hagood Road and Redd Road
- Thompson Road and Redd Road
- Freemanville Road and Redd Road
How long is the impacted stretch of Redd Road? The affected roadway, between Freemanville and Hopewell, is approximately 1.1 miles long.
When might construction start? This can only happen after design work and right-of-way acquisition is complete, both of which are currently planned to run through 2027. The exact schedule will depend on available funding and permitting requirements. The project may be divided into smaller phases to more quickly address the safety and traffic congestion concerns that currently exist along the roadway.
Will residential displacements be needed? No. This project will require widening the City's right-of-way in spots to accommodate proposed improvements. Still, while some parcels will be involved, no homes should be displaced.
How might pedestrians and bicyclists be affected? While initial draft ideas included potential pedestrian features, corridor recommendations are being refined to focus on targeted roadway safety improvements. Potential new trail and/or sidewalk recommendations are being removed from the current scope to allow the Milton Trails Advisory Committee (MTAC) and other ongoing planning efforts to further evaluate and prioritize future roadside trail and sidewalk needs independently from this roadway safety effort.
How can I keep up-to-date and share my thoughts on what's happening? In addition to targeted outreach to area residents, the City plans several opportunities to share input including public meetings and the form below. Questions and comments can also be sent to Engineering Project Manager Kathy Stallard at kathy.stallard@miltonga.gov.
How will this project be funded? The City will use Transportation Special Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) funds to pay for this project.
