The Cumberland Community Improvement District and the Georgia Department of Transportation held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new access ramp to the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes.
The new ramp begins at Akers Mill Road and is the newest of 12 access points for the express lanes. This particular project will provide an exit for the southbound express lanes in the morning and as a northbound entrance ramp in the evening. It is expected to substantially improve regional mobility and will continue to provide travel time savings.
The Cumberland CID and its state, regional and county partners, including Georgia Department of Transportation, State Road & Tollway Authority, Atlanta Regional Commission and Cobb County each committed significant funding for the completion of the Akers Mill Ramp Phase II project, and the INFRA grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation completes the final funding needed for the project.
This Akers Mill Ramp represents a true public-private partnership. The leadership of Cobb County’s Congressional delegation to advance this project reflects their support for vital transportation projects that positively impact the residents of Cobb County and the greater Atlanta region.
