The future of Ridgewalk in Woodstock looks brighter for the long-term. Granted we’re still in a real estate downturn and commercial real estate will definitely get worse before it gets better, but Woodstock can now see a future with a better way around town, improved access to I-575 and high-end retail. Last week The Cherokee Ledger reported,
Georgia Transportation Board District 6 representative Brandon Beach said Nov. 3 the agency’s rankings show that the Interstate 575 Rope Mill Road (Ridgewalk) project is funded and “the money’s there.” “The Rope Mill Road project will probably be pushed back a year, though, because not all the right-of-way is acquired,” Beach said. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) estimates that it will cost $22.5 million to build the interchange at Rope Mill Road. The interchange would access the Ridgewalk community, where Cousins Properties Inc. plans to build its 500,000-square-foot The Avenue shopping center.
Here is a proposed site plan for what Ridgewalk may look like upon completion of the future I-575 interchange at Rope Mill Road:
