The 14th Street Bridge improvement project which began in the summer of 2007 is well underway. Anyone who lives or works in Midtown Atlanta has felt the growing pains of the bridge construction, however, once completed, the improvements will enhance the functionality, safety, and aesthetics in that corridor.
The bridge will accomodate a new underpassing northbound exit ramp to the 17th Street Bridge. A slip ramp will also be created on the westside of the connector for southbound vehicles that are exiting 10th street. Vehicles will no longer have to stop at the 14th street intersection to go to 10th street because the new ramp will go under 14th Street. This will alleviate a ton of traffic formerly experienced!
The new 14th Street Bridge will also have new decorative lighting, seasonal flowers, shrubs, trees, new fencing, and street furniture, enhancing the look of the corridor.
The 3 year construction project is expected to be completed in May 2010.
