On Wednesday, April 29, 2020, Macon-Bibb County Mayor Robert Reichert and Commissioner Larry Schlesinger joined Sheridan Construction crews to take the first walk across the new Second Street Corridor Connector.

Part of it was broadcast live at www.facebook.com/maconbibbcounty so the public could see the progress being made. You can watch that here, or on our video website: MaconBibb.TV.

“We’re getting ready to have the biggest connection completed for the Second Street Corridor, finally bringing together neighborhoods and different sides of our city with a walkable, bikeable roadway,” says Mayor Reichert. “

“Downtown, over the past few years, has seen a renewed sense of growth and revitalization, and now we need that growth to expand to the surrounding neighborhoods,” says District 2 Commissioner Larry Schlesinger. “The Second Street Corridor – with its better sidewalks, bike lanes, and an easy way for people to get to and from home their homes and centers of activity – will benefit our entire community.”

The Connector is not yet complete, meaning people cannot walk, bike, or drive across it. Sheridan Construction recently poured the concrete for the Connector, and the latest timeline has it being open by the end of the summer.
