Demorest adds pedestrian overpass, amphitheater
The long-awaited pedestrian overpass that allows Piedmont students and other Demorest residents to safely cross Historic Highway 441 (Central Avenue) in Demorest is now open. ThyssenKrupp Elevator of Marietta completed installation of the elevator needed to make the overpass operational on Jan. 5.
Construction of the Arrendale Amphitheater continues at the Demorest Campus adjacent to the Swanson Center for Performing Arts and Communications. When completed this summer, the 500-seat amphitheater will provide an excellent open-air facility for concerts and performances.
