Large Road Projects Set to Begin or Be Finished in 2011

Area planners and other city officials said the widening of Interstate 185, the Whittlesey Road projects and widening of Veterans Parkway are among some of the largest projects addressing traffic congestion.


The widening of Interstate 185 between St. Marys Road and the entrance of Fort Benning should be completed during the spring.

In addition to the road widening, $6.8 million will be spent at Victory Drive and I-185 to build an impressive gateway into Fort Benning. The Gateways Foundation raised public and private money to landscape some 56 acres at the interchange with fountains, flags and four 50-foot high monuments.

To ease traffic in one of the busiest sections of Columbus, Jones said the widening of Whittlesey Road from Rollins Way to just past Veterans Parkway is one of the first projects to get under construction in the new year. The $29.1 million project will widen the one-mile stretch of road from two to four lanes.


With more development already approved and traffic problems growing on Veterans Parkway, widening the highway between Old Moon Road and Turnberry Lane will soon start. Acquiring of right-of-way could start early next year.

Along with the major road improvements, improvements are planned along Benning and Cusseta roads, Macon Road at Lynch Road and on South Lumpkin Road at Walker Street.

Also several roundabouts are planned throughout the city.
