| Proposed I-75 Commercial Vehicle Lanes Project Hosts Public Comment Period and Public Hearing Open House Events
The proposed I-75 Commercial Vehicle Lanes (CVL) project (P.I. No. 0014203) is one of the Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) projects advancing across the state to improve mobility and safety for freight operators and passenger vehicles. The project proposes the addition of two, northbound, commercial vehicle lanes along Interstate 75 (I-75) from the I-75/I-475 Interchange in Monroe County ending near the State Route (SR) 20 Interchange in Henry County.

From now through Thursday, May 28, 2026, the public may review and submit feedback on the proposed project’s Environmental Assessment (EA), proposed mitigation measures, and updated concept layouts illustrating features of the Preferred Alternative. To learn more about the proposed project and provide official input, visit: https://tinyurl.com/75CVL-PHOH6

Georgia DOT will also host a series of in-person Public Hearing Open House (PHOH) events during the public comment period at the following locations. The public is invited to attend one of the PHOHs to review project information, speak with project subject matter experts, and provide feedback about the proposed project. There will be no formal presentation.:
- May 13, 2026, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Henry County Administration Building, 140 Henry Parkway Connector, McDonough, GA 30253
- May 14, 2026, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the GDOT District 3, Area 4 Office, 4499 Riverside Drive, Macon, GA, 31210

Materials and displays prepared for the in-person PHOHs are also available on the project website’s virtual meeting room published on the project website: https://tinyurl.com/75CVL-PHOH6
