The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) will host a Public Information Open House to discuss the proposed improvements to the interchange of State Route (SR) 17 Connector/Jimmy DeLoach at Interstate 16 (I-16) in Chatham County.
The public is encouraged to come view displays and discuss the details of the proposed interchange improvement project with Georgia DOT staff. The public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 2 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Bloomingdale City Hall, located at 8 West US Highway 80, Bloomingdale, GA 31302.
The proposed operational improvements and safety enhancements would replace the existing bridge with two new structures constructing a diverging diamond interchange with interchange lighting, sidewalks and bike lanes. In addition, construction of a roundabout at John Cater Road and DOT Barn Road.
There will be no formal presentation, so interested participants may stop by at any point during the meetings. The meeting site is accessible to persons with disabilities.
