Georgia Department of Transportation staff will hold public information open houses Jan. 21-30 on the proposed Interstate-285 Top End Express Lanes in Cobb, Fulton and DeKalb counties.
Also to be considered are three I-285 Advanced Improvement Projects: I-285 Westbound Auxiliary Lane Extension, the I-285 Westbound Collector-Distributor Lanes and the I-285/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard Interchange Improvements.
The open house in Cobb County will be held noon to 2 p.m. Jan. 30 at the Gallery at Cobb Galleria, 1 Galleria Parkway SE, Atlanta, according to a Cobb County statement.
With the northern half of I-285 being one of the most heavily traveled and congested interstates in the nation, the I-285 Top End Express Lanes Project proposes to construct express lanes from just south of Paces Ferry Road in Cobb County to Henderson Road in DeKalb County plus a section of Ga. 400 from south of Glenridge Connector to near the North Springs MARTA Station.
The proposed express lanes will improve mobility and travel time reliability along the I-285 corridor and become part of the larger Georgia Express Lanes network.
All projects are part of the Major Mobility Investment Program, seeking to enhance mobility and safety, fuel economic growth and improve quality of life, the Cobb statement said.
