GDOT will coordinate the bridge construction schedule to reduce traffic impacts where feasible. Before bridge reconstruction begins, GDOT will work with the local municipalities to identify viable detours, if needed, which will consider and assess impacts to schools, first responders, and mobility.

Commenters asked GDOT to clarify specific heights of the proposed SR 400 Express Lanes project at specific locations along the corridor.

Concerns were raised over the construction alternatives presented at the Public Information Open Houses. Commenters requested that the Pitts Road overpass be rebuilt in its existing location resulting in the bridge being closed during construction and local traffic being detoured during construction resulting in a reduced right-of-way and displacements need.
