Do you know where McGinnis Ferry Road is?

@tonythecomputer03

Yes.

[tonythecomputer03]

@Bryant5493 Did you know that they should be done winding the road very soon? If so can you post of video of this?

I drive down I-85 in this area on a frequent basis. When it's finished, sometime this century :-), I'll post it.

I couldn't see any warning signs or helpful road markings before that place where three lanes merge into two. It looks like an accident waiting to happen! Thanks for a safe drive.

[Bryant5493]

Yeah, it's "Death Valley" down there, if you will.

I try to use "the force" when I drive (lol).

I remember when I first went on the interstate back in late 2006 (I-85 from Exit 47 to Exit 64 was my first stretch) that there was construction going on. It seems hard to believe that even over two years later construction's still going on. It'll be good when it's done. Hopefully, the speed limit will go back to 65/70 like you said. And yeah, the roads in that area are quite rough.

[Bryant5493]

Yeah, it sure has been going on awhile. The work looks like it's paying off so far.

I'm hoping 70. 65 is good, but I'm hoping 70.

Are they gonna 8-lane it all the way to La Grange (I-180)?

[Bryant5493]

I'm not sure, but it's going to run pretty close -- right around the Coweta-Meriwether line, a few miles (10 or so) north of I-185.

[aswchris]

Yay, first view :D
