The City will begin the Gibson Street Improvement Project on August 17, 2026. Construction is expected to take approximately eight weeks, weather and unforeseen conditions permitting.

Gibson Street will be closed to through traffic during construction. Local access will be maintained whenever conditions allow, but temporary restrictions may occur as work progresses. Some phases will require complete road and parking closures. Residents will be notified in advance when full closures are necessary. Detour signs will be posted throughout the project area.

We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work to improve Gibson Street for our community.

🌳Learn more about trees and the right-of-way with Acworth Power! 🌳⚡

Let's talk about tree maintenance! Did you know that Acworth has a full-time contracted crew for right-of-way maintenance along Acworth Power lines? Right-of-way distance varies, and this professional team helps keep our right-of-way clear of obstructions up to 15 feet on either side of our power lines. However, many power outages are actually the result of large trees or limbs from private property outside of the right-of-way falling onto lines. That's why tree maintenance is an important aspect of the community working together to help prevent the risk of power outages.

Why is tree maintenance important? First and foremost, it's the safety of you and your loved ones as well as our lineworkers. It's also important because it helps prevent avoidable outages. The other big reason? Property damage prevention. Proper tree maintenance reduces the risk of costly damage to you or your neighbors' property.

Not all outages are preventable, and healthy trees and weather can cause power lines to become damaged too, but the city's efforts to keep the right-of-way clear alongside property owner efforts with tree maintenance can help keep everyone safe and keep the lights on.

Trimming trees near a power line? Don't forget to call Acworth Power first! Our team is more than happy to come out and help with safety around the power lines before you start. You can call (770)974-5233 to let the team know of your plans. 🌳⚡
