Windy Hill Boulevard – Smyrna SPLOST

When it comes to roadways, sometimes the best solution is rethinking the design altogether. Incorporating multi-modal travel in a high-capacity roadway that includes local access to both residents and businesses can be a challenge, but that is what happened for the Windy Hill Boulevard project in Smyrna, Georgia. This project is currently under construction and accommodates local traffic, bicycle lanes, pedestrian trails, and express thru-lanes, which increases the mobility of east/west pass through travel. The project also includes two strategically placed bridges allowing local vehicular and pedestrian traffic the ability to traverse the express thru-lanes. These bridge with pedestrian friendly areas, re­connect residents once cut off from the rest of the City. Given the density of the corridor and high volume of daily travel, the project has taken a great deal of coordination with a variety of organizations. From a simple drawing on a napkin all the way to construction, join us as we dissect the Windy Hill Boulevard project and the creativity that went into making it happen.
