This week, project staff from the Columbia Pike Multimodal Improvements project presented at the Business Roundtable hosted by Columbia Pike Partnership, and covered some of the recent and current activity on Columbia Pike and adjoining roads within the project area.
We'd like to share the same graphics with you to pull the curtain back on some of the work and to understand what crews have been up to this summer, as well as what they're working on, and what remains.
The project is still on track for substantial completion at the end of 2025, with some small items to be completed in early 2026. For more information, visit ColumbiaPikeForward.com.
