The Atlanta Highway and Lexington Highway Corridor projects will improve traffic flow and provide pedestrian and bicycle access on sections of both corridors.
You can help Athens-Clarke County determine how to prioritize investments for these transportation improvements.
Project webpages for each corridor at www.accgov.com/atlantahighway and www.accgov.com/lexingtonhighway include details on possible projects, past corridor studies, reference material, maps, and public input survey links.
