GA 400 - New Exit Ramp For GA 20

Hot off the digital camera, "The Georgia Road Geek" presents to you, fellow road enthusiasts, pictures of a new northbound exit ramp on US 19/GA 400 for Exit 14 (GA 20/Buford/Cumming).

Photo #1: Initial approach to the new overhead gantry that contains the new sign for Exit 14 and a new brown sign "Lake Lanier Islands - Exit 14". (NOTE: The old brown sign also referenced "Buford Dam", but the Georgia DOT decided not to do so on the new one).

Photo #2: The new Exit 14 gore sign can now be seen.


Photo #3: New overhead gantry on the ramp itself for GA 20 West (Cumming) and GA 20 East (Buford) signs.

The ramp will officially open on Tuesday, November 15th, to traffic, but for now, all GA 20 traffic will be routed under the bridge and looped over.

The next phase of the ramp construction is to complete a new GA 20 eastbound ramp. Once this is done, the loop will be for westbound GA 20 traffic only. At this time, we do not know when it will be completed, but once we find out, we'll let y'all know.

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