A proposed bridge over Cobb Parkway near The Battery Atlanta would give pedestrians and cyclists a separate route across the highway at Tim Lee Way. The project is intended to reduce pedestrian crash risks and traffic congestion, and Cobb County officials and project partners are asking for public feedback through Dec. 4.
The crossing would span State Route 3/U.S. Highway 41/Cobb Parkway and provide 15 feet of continuous space for people walking and biking. Its estimated total cost is $24,411,399; officials say that amount could change as planning progresses.
The Cobb County Department of Transportation, Cumberland Community Improvement District and City of Smyrna jointly sponsor the project. The Georgia Department of Transportation provides administrative and technical oversight.
The project is in preliminary design. Agencies are incorporating survey data and public comments into the design and construction plans. Comments may be submitted online or by mailing a printed form to GDOT at One Georgia Center, 600 West Peachtree Street NW, Atlanta, Ga. 30308.
