Motorists will begin using Georgia's first diverging diamond interchange June 4 if work proceeds according to plan.

The Perimeter Community Improvement District and Georgia DOT announced Tuesday that the interchange, at Ashford-Dunwoody Road and I-285, will channel traffic onto the left side of the overpass to ease access for motorists wishing to turn left onto the freeway.

The interchange will close June 1 for final work.

Of the 123,515 jobs in the Central Perimeter Market, 88 percent are filled by people who commute to the area. And, of the 65,639 people who live in the market, 79 percent commute out to jobs.
