DUNWOODY, Ga. — Nearly a decade in the making, Dunwoody is celebrating completion of the Georgetown Gateway, a massive public works project of transportation upgrades that may have regional impact. The project, which runs along Chamblee Dunwoody Road from I-285 to North Shallowford Road, establishes infrastructure for the next halfcentury. With more than 13,000 vehicles using the roadway each day, Chamblee Dunwoody Road serves
as a gateway into the southern heart of the city. Elected officials and senior staff gathered for a ribbon-cutting Dec. 15 in front of the Georgetown Park playground to celebrate Dunwoody’s largest public works project to date. The Georgetown Gateway does two things. It extends the Dunwoody Trailway, connecting Brook Run and Pernoshal parks to the Chamblee Dunwoody Road corridor. It also upgrades stormwater piping, gas lines and traffic signals while relocating 22 utility poles. More than 250 truckloads of asphalt were used in the paving process.
