I-85 interchange now open to new Kia plant

A new interstate interchange in Troup County and related new roads will provide direct access to the new Kia Motors of Georgia plant in West Point. The interchange at Exit 6 of Interstate 85 was completed ahead of schedule and is now open to traffic. The state Department of Transportation said in a statement Tuesday that the new interchange, along with Kia Boulevard and Kia Parkway, will make it much easier to access the area. Georgia DOT urges motorists to call 511 for updated information about any construction project on interstates and state routes.
