Welcome All Road plan would replace a bridge—and more than double a turn lane

Welcome All Road’s bridge over Camp Creek would be replaced and realigned under a Georgia Department of Transportation plan that also calls for a three-legged T-intersection and a longer left-turn lane from Camp Creek Parkway—from 180 feet to 400 feet.⁠[1]

The larger road project is behind a smaller utility agreement that Atlanta’s City Utilities Committee unanimously recommended Nov. 10, according to its draft meeting record. Resolution 26-R-4353 would authorize up to $16,744 to adjust one city water valve box, one manhole and one fire hydrant to the new grade because the existing facilities conflict with the roadway improvements.⁠[1][2]

The city’s resolution lists Jan. 15, 2027, for GDOT’s scheduled construction-contract letting, with construction anticipated to begin later in 2027. Those are projected milestones, not an announcement that work has begun.⁠[1]

GDOT’s project dashboard places the work in both Atlanta and East Point in Fulton County. It lists about $7.7 million for construction in program year 2027, based on an estimate dated May 29, 2026—not an awarded construction price. Atlanta’s proposed $16,744 agreement covers its specified utility adjustments, not the road-and-bridge project as a whole.⁠[1][3]

Committee backing is not final City Council approval. The packet lists Council consideration of the utility agreement for Nov. 16 at 1 p.m.⁠[1]
