15TH STREET EXTENSION FROM SR 9 TO CS 673/WILLIAMS STREET

under construction

The project is a multi-modal connection that extends 15th Street from its current end point at West Peachtree two blocks west to Williams Street. The entire extension will be implemented on GDOT right-of-way eliminating the need for costly and time consuming land acquisition. The project is designed as a three lane section between West Peachtree Street and Spring Street with one through lane, a dedicated turn lane at Spring Street and a shared left/through lane and a dedicated turn lane at West Peachtree Street. There is a single through lane in each direction between Spring Street and Williams Street. Travel lanes are planned to be 11-feet wide. New traffic signals are required at 15th and Spring Street and at Williams Street. The corridor will have 10-foot sidewalks with a 5-foot furniture zone with trees and street lights, and striped 5-foot wide bike lanes providing a direct connection to the Arts Center MARTA station.
