The new I-285\/SR 400 interchange<\/strong> is the first piece of the puzzle for traffic relief. In the years to come metro-Atlantans will soon notice their commutes improve.<\/p>\n

Key improvements to the I-285\/SR 400 Interchange Reconstruction project in Atlanta, Georgia, USA include collector-distributor lanes<\/strong> along 4.3 miles of I-285 and 6.2 miles of collector-distributor lanes on SR 400. The collector-distributor lanes will connect through a series of flyover ramps<\/strong> creating a new interchange connecting the major interstate bypass and major state route.<\/p>\n

Made by Ferrovial Agroman US Corp<\/a> for State Road Tollway Authority<\/a>, the interchange connects nearly 100,000 residents<\/strong> and an additional 123,000 employees<\/strong> to home, shopping or work at one of the 5,000 companies<\/strong> located in the north metro Atlanta region.<\/p>\n

The I-285\/SR 400 Interchange Reconstruction project also encompasses smaller key projects that will help improve traffic conditions for the busy metro region. One of the improvements includes expanding<\/strong> and lengthening<\/strong> Mount Vernon Highway bridge<\/strong> over SR 400 and constructing a diverging-diamond interchange on Abernathy Road<\/strong> at SR 400.<\/p>\n

Upon its completion in summer 2020 the interchange reconstruction project and its smaller projects will bring some relief for the 420,000 vehicles<\/strong> that use the interchange daily. The full impact of the project won’t be felt for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

The reason, the I-285\/SR 400 Interchange Reconstruction project sits at the center of future express toll lanes planned by the Georgia Department of Transportation<\/a>. The state DOT plans to build express toll lanes on I-285 and SR 400. These improvements will help relieve traffic<\/strong> on the major corridors allowing motorists to travel a minimum of 45 miles-per-hour<\/strong> during peak travel times. The express lanes<\/strong> will free up space on the general purpose lanes for drivers who chose not to use the express toll lanes.<\/p>\n
