Involving Cobb County, Georgia Department of Transportation staff is taking a new approach to the Public-Private Partnership process for express lanes on Interstate-285.

This approach will expand project scopes for I-285 Top End, I-285 Westside and I-285 Eastside Express Lanes, according to a GDOT statement.

Revised plans may extend interchange access points to Interstate-20 on both the east and west sides in Cobb and DeKalb counties.

Under the existing plan, the express lanes would stop short of these interchanges.
