Groundbreaking Improvements for U.S. Highway 41

In early December, the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CID) in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation, federal partners and Cobb County, broke ground on a widening project and enhancements for U.S. Highway 41 between Paces Mill and Akers Mill roads. The project, part of $53 million in improvements being advanced by the Cumberland CID, will facilitate safe and fluid transit along one of the most heavily trafficked corridors in Georgia. The road will be widened to six lanes, with a raised median and a 12-foot wide multi-use trail on the west side of the road.
