GA 400 Scenes From This Week (Part I)

Fellow road enthusiasts...

This week, I decided to pack our second digital camera (the "cheapie" that we got free for getting BellSouth DSL) in the truck for some GA 400 "roadgeeking" during the commute home.

First, here is a picture of a new BGS overhead for Exits 5A-B (Abernathy Road) at the 1/2-mile (800 m) point...


As you may know by now, GA 400 will be widened between Holcomb Bridge and McFarland Roads. Here are photos for the GA 400 northbound lane shift that begins at Holcomb Bridge Road (GA 140)...


Here's a photo showing how traffic "bottles up" just 1 mile (1.6 km) before Haynes Bridge Road (notice the covered-up arrow)...

Here is where the northbound lane shifts will be ending for now...


This has been the northern end of the section of shoulder buses are allowed to use if traffic slows below 35 MPH (55 km/h).

Finally, here are the northbound pictures from Forsyth County, starting with the point at the county line where the mileposts reset to zero...


On "Part II", I'll continue the pictures through McFarland Road and I will have a very special "roadgeek treat" for y'all.

That's all for now. Thanks for visiting and please come again.
