On Thursday, the Biden Administration announced $40 million in grants for projects that aim to improve driver and pedestrian safety on Georgia’s roads.

In Atlanta, $10 million will be spent on the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the intersection of Lenox Road and GA400 in Buckhead.

The money comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, passed in 2021, which authorizes up to $108 billion for public transportation improvements nationwide.
