Commutes will be quicker for some students in Cobb County, thanks to a newly constructed bridge.
The Skip Spann Connector creates a new connection between Chastain Road and Kennesaw State University, allowing students to go over I-75.
The $17 million bridge started construction in 2013 and was inaugurated Wednesday. It was originally projected to be completed in mid-2015.
The new corridor starts at Frey Road and end at Busbee Drive.
Developers say the bridge is expected to significantly cut down on traffic.
The 48,000 drivers who travel on Chastain Road at I-75 each day should see traffic reduced by 19 percent, according to the Cobb County Department of Transportation.
