North Westover Boulevard extension to bring traffic changes in the new year

ALBANY, Ga. – New transformations are on the horizon for North Westover Boulevard in Albany, Georgia, as the city gear up for a series of impactful changes.

In an upcoming initiative expected in January, North Westover Boulevard will undergo modifications affecting drivers and motorists. Drivers should anticipate a reduction in speed limits and lane configurations from the vicinity of the Planet Fitness on North Westover Boulevard to the Dawson Road intersection, encompassing the area near the Albany Mall.

The initiative of a roundabout at the established Westover Extension highlights a pivotal development in traffic infrastructure. The forthcoming extension is set to create a new direct connection between the commercial districts adjacent to the Albany Mall, Ledo Road, and the southeastern region of Lee county.

This development is strategically designed to bolster safety measures and optimize traffic efficiency.
