History

The reader is directed to the Northwest HOV/BRT archival website for a detailed history of the Project from its beginning in 2002 through the end of 2008.

The Northwest Corridor Project is an innovative project being promulgated by Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).  Project development has been ongoing for an extended period.  The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was published in May 2007.  Changes in the economic landscape since that time have led GDOT to conclude that the ambitious project originally envisioned is simply not financially feasible. This reality has led to rethinking the requirements for the corridor while still addressing the basic needs for congestion relief and providing alternative modes of transportation with a significantly reduced footprint approach.
