US 78 Median Construction Groundbreaking

The groundbreaking for the US 78 median construction and the beginning of the end for the reversible lane system on Stone Mountain Highway was held this past Friday along Highway 78 in Stone Mountiain.

Aiding the businesses through the Georgia Department of Transportation construction is the Evermore Community Improvement District, a group of business owners along the Highway 78 corridor committed to making sure business does not decline during or after construction of the median.

Regular readers may know that I interned with the Evermore CID in 2005 and 2006, and it is great to see this work finally beginning.
