The fifth and final phase of the Truman Parkway extension project is set to open to traffic on Feb. 28, Chatham County announced today.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony has been scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on that day.

The state project, which began in March 2010, is intended to extend the parkway 2.1 miles from Whitfield Avenue to Abercorn Street, just north of Holland Drive.
