TOWN CENTER — Designed as a bridge between academia and business, the Skip Spann Connector broke ground Monday. Officials say it will be a monument to a man who worked to fuel growth in the north Cobb suburbs.
The $17.8 million project, which will create a bridge between Frey Road and Busbee Drive over Interstate 75, is expected to open by mid-2015.
It will continue to Townpark Lane connecting Kennesaw State University and the Towne Park business center.
An additional off-ramp from I-75 north at Chastain Road will be constructed from Busbee Drive. Another ramp off I-75 south will connect directly to Frey Road without merging traffic onto Chastain Road.
That’s expected to reduce traffic on Chastain Road as much as 19 percent.
