ghini14th Street Bridge Improvement Project
The Georgia Department of Transportation has released an updated project schedule for the replacement of the 14th Street Bridge. The new schedule will allow the department to reduce the amount of time that residents, employees, and visitors will be affected by construction activity.
Current Schedule
Starting next week (October 1), Williams Street between 10th Street and 16th Street will be reduced to one lane until June 2009. Motorists will be encouraged to bypass Williams Street at 10th Street by using West Peachtree Street.
In March 2008, Techwood Drive will be closed to traffic between 16th and 10th Streets. The roadway is expected to reopen by September 2009.
In fall 2008, the 14th Street Bridge will be closed to traffic and will not reopen until summer 2010. Motorists will be detoured to the 17th Street Bridge during this period.
Additionally, in March 2008, DOT crews will begin resurfacing the Downtown Connector between University Avenue and 10th Street. During construction, interstate lane closures will occur at night - Monday through Thursday from 7:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. - with continuous closures on weekends starting Friday night and concluding Monday morning.
On October 1st, Midtown Transportation Solutions will launch a web site, www.14thStreetBridge.com that will act as a resource center for commuters and employers. This site will provide information on lane closures, detour routes, commute alternatives, and solutions for employers.

That is a corridor that's chasing I-285 for the World's Longest Permanent Road Construction Zone. Well, second-longest, after Boston's Big Dig, which had a start date around the age of Voltaire and is expected to be finished just before the sun goes nova. By the time they finish that thing, the last off-ramp will be at Milliways.
