Department of Transportation and Columbus Consolidated Government To Hold A Location and Design Public Information Open House For P.I. No. 0012577 Muscogee County

On Thursday, April 20, 2017 at the Columbus Baptist Association, 3679 Steam Mill Road, Columbus, Georgia 31906, the Georgia Department of Transportation TIA Program and Columbus Consolidated Government (CCG) will hold a Public Information Open House concerning the project listed above.

This project proposes to replace the existing Interstate 185 (I-185) interchange at Buena Vista Road with a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI). The DDI concept crosses traffic to the opposite side of the road across the interchange so vehicles have unimpeded movement onto the freeway ramps.

The purpose of this Location and Public Information Open House is to provide the public with an opportunity to view the project, ask questions, and comment on the project.

The Open House will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. It will be informal, and the public is invited to attend anytime during these hours. There will be no formal presentation. A court reporter will be available to allow the public an opportunity to make verbal comments about the project. S
