An update on the proposed I-77 expansion project The project to expand I-77 from uptown Charlotte to the South Carolina border could be getting more expensive than originally thought. For years, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has planned to add two toll lanes on each side of the highway. That means expanding the total number of lanes from six to 10. #GDOT #georgia #transportation

The CSX Southwest Railroad Corridor Assessment Study is now available. This study was initiated to explore the possibility of establishing passenger rail service in the region. The primary study corridor runs southwestward from the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), near the Miami International Airport (MIA), to the City of Homestead. Based on the insights gained from previous studies, TPO developed three alternatives to evaluate for joint passenger and freight rail service that could aid Miami-Dade County with resiliency, congestion, goods movement and offer additional mobility options for residents and visitors. The study recommends the CSX Southwest Railroad Corridor be amended into the Miami-Dade 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), as a Priority IV unfunded project, for potential future use as a shared freight/passenger rail corridor. Read the Final Report at https://lnkd.in/gtsw8tGn and the Executive Summary at https://lnkd.in/g4uZVSzD. #MiamiDadeTPO

Georgia Department of Transportation wants to hear from the public on the future of the Talmadge Bridge The Georgia Department of Transportation wants the public feedback on the future of the Talmadge Bridge. GDOT is presenting two alternatives the public can choose from; a tunnel that goes under the river and a new bridge with a higher elevation at the same location. Another option includes keeping the Talmadge bridge the way it is. #GDOT #transportation #georgia

Have your say on the future of transportation in the Houston-Galveston region! 🚀 Federal legislation introduced Transportation Performance Management to address transportation system challenges.
