The Georgia Department of Transportation has listed yet more overnight lane closures associated with the Transform 285/400 project.

Alternating left and right lanes will close nightly on I-285 westbound between Peachtree Dunwoody Road and Glenridge Drive Sunday through Thursday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Also, one right lane will close nightly on 1-285 eastbound between Glenridge Drive and Peachtree Dunwoody Road Monday through Thursday from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The reconstruction includes new lanes, a diverging diamond interchange, flyover ramps and an extension of the PATH 400 trail system. It affects 4.3 miles of I-285 from west of Roswell Road to east of Ashford Dunwoody Road, and 6.2 miles of Ga. 400 from the Glenridge Connector to Spalding Drive.

The project is also the reason all those trees are being removed from the side of Ga. 400.
