Road project 0015998: SR 3 FROM CS 1957/RHODES STREET TO CS 3790/MLK JR DRIVE
Under Construction · Sidewalks · Cities: Atlanta · Funding: NEPA · This project addresses safety & connectivity at one of the region's most heavily used corridors adjacent to the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) campus, Mercedes-Benz Stadium & the Vine City MARTA heavy rail station. With the heavy pedestrian traffic in the area along with over 70 crashes between Rhodes Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Dr alone (2010-2013), this project will address connectivity and pedestrian surface-street improvements. Planned improvements include pedestrian ‘curtains’ to deter jaywalking and potential for a raised center median that preserves existing center turn lanes; sidewalk improvements (widening), including ADA & curb ramp upgrades and new pedestrian lighting.
