Cobb clings to hope for cheaper Braves bridge
COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- Team officials say the new Atlanta Braves stadium in Cobb County is ahead of schedule and under budget. The stadium is due to be ready when the 2017 baseball season starts. But a bridge that will connect the stadium to parking across I-285 is not likely to be on time or under budget.
Earlier this year, MARTA completed construction of a pedestrian bridge across Georgia 400 in Buckhead. MARTA says engineering and construction of the bridge, which handles only pedestrians, cost $32 million.
