project in the State of Georgia: the Rome-Cartersville Development
Corridor Project located in Bartow County, Georgia. The proposed
project will improve travel conditions for automobiles and trucks
between US 411/US 41 and I-75 in Bartow County by constructing a new
location four-lane highway between US 411/US 41 and I-75, constructing
a new full-diamond interchange that will replace the existing overpass
