The Cumberland Community Improvement District and the Georgia DOT held a groundbreaking ceremony on October 14 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 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.
