SR 56 extension is open! Finally!


The State Road 56 extension to Mansfield is now open.

Drivers will encounter a sea of traffic barrels along the stretch on SR 56 from The Shops at Wiregrass to Mansfield and should go slowly when approaching that intersection which has no traffic light, especially at night since there are no street lights:

Parents dropping off kids at John Long Middle School and Wiregrass Ranch High School will now have another route available to them, (new drop off directions for Wiregrass Ranch High School), and residents of much of Meadow Pointe will no longer need to take County Line Road to get to I-75 & I-275.

Of course, once SR 56 is opened up to Meadow Pointe Blvd. (November?), travel from the rest of Meadow Pointe and Country Walk to I-75 also will become a breeze!

Work on the Meadow Pointe Blvd. / SR 56 intersection has begun. See below:

Are there any plans to extend 56 to Morris bridge road in the future?

Plans? Oh sure. There are plans to extend 56 to Morris Bridge Road and also to 301. That's probably years away (if ever) due to funding issues.

Thank you for updating us on the roads this has become the only site to go to for updates. Our area's growth is dependent on our road growth and it is nice to have updates knowing it is being worked on.
