By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT

Fifteen years ago when the members of theCumberland Community Improvement District(CCID) set out on a plan to make multi-milliondollar highway improvements, a new AtlantaBraves baseball stadium was probably not evena glimmer in someone’s eye. But in 2013 whenthe Braves chose Cobb County as the locationfor their new stadium, it was obvious all thoselong, long years of planning and persistencehad paid off.

“People keep asking, ‘Are you doingimprovements because the Braves are coming,’

said Tad Leithead, chairman of the CCID. “Ican only speak so far about the Braves. But theBraves are coming because we’re doing trans-portation improvements. Because thoseimprovements are under way they will providefantastic access.”

The improvement project is actually twoprojects that started out as one, but was latersplit to better utilize available funding. The firstis the $12.6 million replacement of a bridge onU.S. 41 over the Chattahoochee River.Construction on the bridge got underway in2011 and is continuing today.

enlarged Panama Canal to call upon the Port of Savannah.The Corps is responsible for dredging the Port, the turningbasin and the shipping channel leading to the Atlantic Ocean.“We know the shipping fleet is growing and the size of the

ships are getting larger, too,” said Corps spokesman BillyBirdwell. “In order to accommodate those ships, we need adeeper harbor and channel up to the harbor. What we expectto gain from this is a greater increase in shipping efficiency.Larger ships mean fewer ships can move in and out moreregularly. With that shipping efficiency we will gain signifi-cant benefit to the national economy. For every $1 we investinto this project, the national economy will get $5.50 back.”The $652 million project has been in discussion with fed-

eral, state and local authorities for close to two decades. TheU.S. Corps of Army Engineers approved the project inOctober 2012 and the project has received strong bi-partisansupport from the U.S. Congress, including an endorsementby U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden who said it must beaccomplished, “come hell or high water.”The port has begun designing improvements around bulk-

heads and docks to allow it to deepen the harbor and severalberths from 42 to 47 ft. (12.8 to 14.3 m).

“Right now there are nine container berths,” said ChrisNovack, director of engineer and facility maintenance for theGeorgia Ports Authority. “Of those, four, five, six and sevenrequire some additional construction improvements that willallow deepening. “In addition to the deepening, we have to upgrade our

fendering systems, our bollards that allow for tying off.We’ve already implemented these programs. That work iscompleted.”The Corps has not let any contracts for deepening yet, but

is awaiting the resolution of several issues in Congress,Birdwell said. “We are anticipating that we may get contracts and some

work started by end of this year but that is still subject tochange at all times,” Birdwell said. “Once started, we antic-ipate it will take four to five years to complete.”The Panama Canal is in the final stage of construction of

a third set of locks that will allow ships too large for the orig-inal two locks to transit the expanded canal through the newlock.Deepening the Savannah harbor and shipping channel is

important because the larger ships carry significantly morecontainers, Birdwell said.

“The new ships are more efficient to operate. So as theymove up to the harbor they are able to quickly move con-tainers off and on with multiple cranes and the ships can beon their way.” While large ships can currently call on the Georgia port,

they are tidily restricted, Birdwell said.That means they can only come and go only at high tide.

Once in the port, they must wait for the next high tide.Likewise, incoming ships arriving at low tide must wait atsea for a high tide.The project has gone through years of environmental

scrutiny, which has resulted in numerous mitigation meas-ures, including the installation of an oxygen injection sys-tem. “We know there will be an impact on dissolved oxygen

and that impacts fish and other marine life down there,Birdwell said. “We’re having to install what are known asspeece cones. That is a significant project. It pulls water outof the river, supersaturates it with oxygen and the water is putback into the river. We’re installing them at 45 locations. Aswe go through, there is pre-construction monitoring, moni-toring during construction, and post-construction monitoring

The Maersk vessel leaves Garden City Terminal and the China Shipping vessel is at berth at the same terminal.

Planners Consult State, Federal Departments on $35M Project

sufficiency rating was a mere 47. Anythingunder 50 is considered to be in need ofreplacement.

Part two of the project is the $35 millionwidening of U.S. 41 from four lanes to sixlanes just north of the new bridge. The newstretch of highway will offer three opportu-nities to access the new stadium.

Both projects came with their share ofchallenges, Leithead said. The bridge joinstwo counties, Cobb and Fulton, meaningplanners had to work not only with state andfederal transportation departments but withtwo counties as well. And while Cobb iswidening U.S. 41 on its side, Fulton is not.

“You go from six lanes to a four-laneroad,” said Leithead. “You can’t just put abrick wall there and let cars drive into it. You

have to do a taper.” Environmental restrictions, particularly

related to the river, made for slow going. “The bridge spans the Chattahoochee

River, and the National Park Trail systemoperates in the Chattahoochee corridor,” saidsaid Leithead. “The National Park systemuses the river for their own boats to accessthe water. We had to relocate the boat access.We had to consider structural issues The cur-rent bridge is wider than the old bridge, so itcasts more shade on the river so we had to doa study on what impact, if any, the addition-al shade would have on the fish. Would itchange the river temperature? Would it alterhabitat? There are asterids growing on theriverbank. Asterids are a form of vegetationthat only bloom once a year in October. The

“ A Community Improvement District is a self-taxing group, made upof real estate developers,” said Tad Leithead, chairman of theCumberland Community Improvement District in Georgia.

“ Our CID has 180 commercial properties in the district. Those 180property owners pay property tax and the money goes to the CID.The member, that is, the people who pay the tax, elect the board andthe board spends the money.”

The groups are restricted by law to spend their funds on very specificpurposes, generally related to transportation.

“ It’ s very restricted,” Leithead said. “ We simply can’ t go out-side of that. It includes transportation, public transportation such assidewalks, alternative forms of transportation, parking decks andgarages, water and sewer facilities, parks and recreation, essentiallyinfrastructure.”

The CCID is the fastest growing business district in the southeast andrepresents five percent of the total economy in the state of Georgia,according to Leithead. The CCID has grown from 4 million sq. ft. ofoffice space to 20 million sq. ft. of office space, and is responsible for$750 million improvements and 90,000 jobs in the 25 years it’ s beenin existence.

Part one of the project is the $12.6 million replacement of a bridge on U.S. 41 overthe Chattahoochee River.

The U.S. 41 project is on the fast track to be completed in time for the Braves’ firstpitch in spring 2017 — up from the original completion date of later that year.

The bridge joins two counties, Cobb and Fulton, meaning planners had to work notonly with state and federal transportation departments but with two counties aswell.

Expansion to Save U.S. Economy $174M in Shipping Costsfor 10 years so we know the impacts for this. We anticipatewe will only need oxygen injection on certain days, particu-larly on hot days.”The Port of Savannah is the fourth largest container port in

the United States behind Los Angeles, Long Beach andNewark. Its primary markets encompass 138 million peopleor 44 percent of U.S. consumers and businesses. Savannahhandles eight percent of all U.S. containerized trade andnearly 12 percent of U.S. containerized exports, according tothe Georgia Ports Authority. While construction is ongoing, the Ports Authority esti-

mates 352,146 full and part-time jobs will be created. Theproject is expected to generate a statewide economic impactof $18.5 billion in income, $66.9 billion in sales and $32.4billion in GDP.“This is a huge deal for us,” said Novack. “Right now we

will be at 3 million TEUS [twenty-foot equivalent units] thisyear. We expect the growth to continue, and this type ofimprovement is necessary for the growth to continue in theSoutheast.”The project also is expected to save the U.S. economy an

average $174 million in shipping costs annually for the next50 years.“We only look at 50 years,” Birdwell said. “But we know

the harbor will be here a lot longer than that. In the lateryears, there will be even greater savings.”

Widening Involves Burying Utility Lines Where Possible

HARBOR from page 2 The Georgia Ports Authority has alreadybegun its share of work on the SavannahHarbor expansion project, a deepening of

the harbor that will allow super shipssailing through the enlarged Panama

Canal to call upon the Port of Savannah.

Environmental restrictions, particularly related to the river, made for slow going.

that only bloom once a year in October. The rest of thetime you can’t tell the difference between the asteridsand the weeds. So we had to wait until October for themto bloom to tell which were asterids and which wereweeds and then relocate the asterids. The environmentalconcerns were complex. They caused the project tomove slowly, but we got there. Developers are by natureimpatient. We have to be patient.”The completed half of the new bridge is now open to

traffic, with a finish date set for late 2014.The widening project from Paces Mill to Akers Mill

roads involves burying utility lines where possible.When the lines can’t be buried, the poles will bereplaced with taller poles and painted green to makethem more attractive, Leithead said. While it seems obvious the new roadwork played a

big role in helping to lure the Braves to the new CobbCounty site, there are other benefits from the construc-tion as well, Leithead said.“The transportation projects make a huge improve-

ment to traffic and thereby make a huge improvement incongestion,” Leithead said. “By reducing congestion,that makes people more inclined to relocate from a placewhere there is more congestion.”The U.S. 41 project is on the fast track to be com-

pleted in time for the Braves’ first pitch in spring 2017— up from the original completion date of later thatyear.
