Two more links in Georgia's US 280 'Power Alley' increase safety, opportunities
US 280 crosses Georgia from Columbus in the west to Savannah in the east, and while it has been a priority corridor for development for decades, some host counties have had difficulty making the improvements that would help them capitalize on its strategic location. While selecting projects for TIA funding in the River Valley region, leaders have selected several sections of US 280 for widening and other enhancements and in the past ten years, two of those large projects in Crisp County have been completed: the widening of the US 280 bridge over Lake Blackshear and the US 280 widening from the Lake Blackshear bridge to the SR 300 connector in Cordele.
In this video series, we're taking a look at projects that were recently completed in TIA regions, why they were selected for program inclusion and how they're expected to resolve issues in their communities.
