Officials with the city of College Park have met with the Georgia Department of Transportation about upgrades regarding the bridge that pedestrians and vehicles use near the 2900 block of Camp Creek Parkway.

With the construction of the commercial development WallyPark underway at the intersection of Camp Creek Parkway and Herschel Road, the city is seeking upgrades to the bridge to prepare for the possibility of additional traffic. A construction date has not yet been set.
