The purpose of the proposed US 411 Connector is to provide a direct connection between US 411, at its interchange with US 41 west of Cartersville, and I-75, and to relieve congestion along the existing US 411 to I-75 corridor. Through traffic from the US 411 corridor typically travels eastward on the combined route of US 41/US 411 to its interchange with SR 61, utilizing SR 20 to access I-75 South.

GDOT has held four open houses throughout the project development process for the US 411 Connector project. The public hearing open house (PHOH) was held on October 24, 2005. There were 363 people in attendance to get information and share their opinions on the preferred alternative and other alternatives considered. The displays presented at this open house illustrated the reasonable range of alternatives that have been identified. All comments received as a result of the open houses have been added to the project record and are included in the Final SEIS.

When proposing a transportation project with Federal funding, environmental studies must be completed within the project's area of potential effect. These studies document the potential effects that a project may have on the natural, social, cultural and economic environments of an area. Once these studies are completed, the results are incorporated into an environmental document, which in this case is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

Preliminary Fieldwork
The fieldwork for wetlands, streams and threatened and endangered species including fish and mussels is now complete. Reports for these special studies are also complete. The fieldwork and the reports for historic and archaeological resources have been submitted and have received concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer.
The US 411 Connector project includes a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) made up of a group of people with a diverse set of perspectives and opinions. The 27-member group was chosen to represent varying views of the community, including business, landowner, local government, agriculture, minority and environmental interests.
