Fellow road enthusiasts, it's the countdown to "D-Day" on US 19/GA 400.
On Tuesday, January 3, 2006, at 9 PM, the Georgia DOT (GDOT) will start the lane shifts on US 19/GA 400 northbound between Holcomb Bridge Road (Exits 7A-B) and Windward Parkway (Exit 11). The southbound lane shifts will start Wednesday night at 9 PM.
For more info, please click here for the article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Since just after Thanksgiving, GDOT has had mobile signs along GA 400 warning drivers that there will be construction activity from 9 PM until 5 AM.
This is the start of the much-needed widening of GA 400 between Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell to McFarland Road (Exits 12A-B North, Exit 12 South) in south Forsyth County.
The good news is that this will not be a tolled "public-private initiative" project. :)
GDOT estimates a September, 2007, completion date. Still, this has been looooong overdue.
That's all for now. Thanks for visiting and please come back again.

Let's do an exposé on how the folks that put in the tollbooth on GA400 promised to take out the tollbooth when the project had paid for itself. It PAID for itself in 1993..but the tollbooth still stands. I drive thru it every day and have since 1994. They easily make $50,000 per day..and that is just FREE MONEY that is piling up. Do you think they will "volunteer" to stop taking our cash....? Hell no....someone should MAKE them take out the tollbooth. Too bad the deal is probably profiting the previous governor.
Politics suck! Ga 400 should have been widened in 1990!! Take the money they "leech" from the tollbooth and pay for the expansion.....
OK...feel better now.
