Together, each entity will work to enhance safety during construction of the I-285\/SR 400 Reconstruction Project.<\/p>\n<p>NPC will coordinate and communicate with first responders<strong> 21 days before traffic shifts,<\/strong> detours and major work via email. NPC employs off-duty officers to assist with lane closures. NPC also uses crash trucks at the beginning and end of an established lane closures to protect crews from traffic. NPC&#8217;s Traffic Control Manager, Dean Conrad constantly communicates with the Georgia DOT Transportation Management Center (TMC) to alert them about nightly lane closures. Georgia DOT improves safety in the construction work zone by reducing the speed limit on SR 400 and I-285. GDOT also uses <strong>changeable message signs<\/strong> to inform the traveling public about lane closures in the area. First responders committed to removing car crashes that may occur within the project limits in a reasonable time frame. Local law enforcement will issues traffic tickets and fines to motorists speeding through the work zone.<\/p>\n<h2>About the\u00a0The I-285\/SR 400 highway project<\/h2>\n<p>The I-285\/SR 400 Reconstruction project The I-285\/SR 400 Interchange Improvement Project will <strong>improve 4.3 miles<\/strong> of I-285 from west of Roswell Road to east of Ashford-Dunwoody Road and <strong>6.2 miles<\/strong> along SR400 highway from the Glenridge Connector to Spalding Drive.
