Mayor Andre Dickens, Councilmember Jason Dozier, and the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) hosted the ribbon-cutting of a key corridor linking major business and entertainment hubs in downtown Atlanta.
The Ted Turner Bridge, formerly the Spring Street Bridge, has been shut down for the last seven years, forcing drivers to detour blocks out of the way to get around one block.
Now, the bridge includes a rebuilt viaduct and roadway, extending from the intersection of Mitchell Street SW, situated between the Richard B. Russell Federal Building and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Building, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive SW.
Improvements to the corridor include the widening of the newly constructed Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive viaduct and the new abutment to the Ted Turner SW viad
