Georgia DOT to Host Virtual Public Information Open House on Proposed I-75 at CR 312/Bethlehem Road Interchange Project
ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) will host a virtual Public Information Open House (PIOH) from March 23 to April 20, 2023, to give the public an opportunity to review materials and provide comments on the proposed I-75 at County Road (CR) 312/Bethlehem Road Interchange project (PI No. 0017182). To access the virtual open house, visit the project website at https://bit.ly/i75BethlehemRd.
Georgia DOT proposes to construct a new interchange along I-75 at CR 312/Bethlehem Road between Bill Gardner Parkway and State Route (SR) 155 in Henry County. The proposed improvements also include realigning and widening Bethlehem Road to four lanes along the 2-mile project corridor, constructing new bridges across I-75 and Bethlehem Bottoms, adding four new roundabouts, and providing additional access points to and from Bethlehem Road for vehicles using US 23/SR 42 to the east and Glenwood Road/Lester Mill Road to the west.
“The proposed project will enhance connectivity, improve functionality through additional access points, and ease congestion in the project area,” said Georgia DOT Project Manager Kathe Ahmed. “This project also supports existing and future economic growth in Henry County. We encourage the public to visit the project website, review the materials, and submit feedback during the PIOH comment period.”
Georgia DOT will host a virtual presentation and live Q&A session on April 13, 2023, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. to give the public an opportunity to ask questions of designated subject-matter experts. A link to the session will be posted at https://bit.ly/i75BethlehemRd on the day of the event. A recording will be uploaded to the project website after the event.
