Last Saturday, I went to Jim R. Miller Park in Cobb County for the 2010 Atlanta Hamfest... and did some "roadgeeking" as well.
Right next to the park, Cobb County DOT is constructing the Windy Hill/Macland Road Connector , a 2-mile (3.2 km) 4-lane limited access road, that will connect Windy Hill Road at its intersection with Austell Road (GA 5) with Macland Road at its intersection with Powder Springs Road.
According to the CCDOT, the road's maximum speed limit will be 45 MPH (70 km/h) and it should be complete and open to traffic in May, 2011.
Here are the photos...
To maximize mobility along this stretch of road, there will be no direct access to or from Callaway Road.Having said that, I am curious as to why CCDOT built a barrier separated side road on the new bridge. Unless this side road is going to become a northbound carriageway for a future 4-laning of Callaway, I am not too sure why this was even bulit. The map for the route doesn't seem to give much of a clue.
On our next blog entry, I'll be featuring a very unique destination that will take you to another country... and it's in the North Georgia mountains.
That's it for now. Thanks for reading and please come back often.

Very nice work done on your part, I live right next to the construction site, they have placed a 10 foot barrier to the west side of my home, it will cut down on the noise and add privacy to my back yard. I'd like to see and aerial view like the one you provided which might show an up to date status. Once completed a before and after aerial view. Thanks for your time and work involved with this site.
