Georgia DOT, Partners Build Upon Connected Vehicle Project A vehicle-to-everything project deployed on The Ray, a highway technology testbed in rural Georgia, will add roadside communication units and in-vehicle technology to improve communications and highway safety. June 30, 2021 • Shutterstock/metamorworks Georgia is moving forward with a second phase of a connected vehicle project, expanding the area covered and partnering with car maker Kia to outfit Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) vehicles with vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology. The project, which uses Panasonic technology on an 18-mile stretch of Interstate 85, known as The Ray, will add seven new roadside communications radio units and 10 additional connected vehicles. The autos will be equipped with heads-up displays to deliver “traveler information messages” related to traffic conditions, construction zones and information to help improve highway safety.
STOCKBRIDGE â Except for holidays and during bad weather, lane closures will continue on Interstate 75 from Walt Stephens Road overpass to Ga. Highway 54 in Clayton County every weekend through August. Crews are working to repair the roads, which requires closing all but one lane, either north or southbound from Friday evening through Monday morning. The Georgia Department of Transportation said the closure extension is necessary due to recent inclement weather and the discovery of additional needed repairs. âUpon removal of several of the concrete slabs, it has been discovered that the lower layers of roads material were in a condition that required additional time to repair,â GDOT officials said.
ATLANTA â With Memorial Day unofficially marking the start of summer, an active summer construction season is coming up across Georgia, creating many work zones. The Georgia Department of Transportation anticipates a busy construction season to include resurfacing and maintenance projects on interstates and state routes, as well as ongoing major projects such as the Transform 285/400 improvement project in metro Atlanta, the I-75/I-285 resurfacing project in Clayton County, the I-85 Widening project in Jackson County, and the I-16/I-75 Interchange Reconstruction projects in Macon-Bibb County. With Work Zone Safety Awareness Week ending last month, Georgia DOT continually encourages motorists to adhere to safety messages, share them with family and friends, and avoid near misses in work zones. Drive Safe. Work Safe. Save Lives.
