Pathway to an Improved Commute

Under Construction: Transform 285/400

Postponed: Lane closures on I-285 delayed until June 2022.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has announced that major lane closures slated for I-285 have been delayed. The closures are expected to now take effect June 2022. These closures are intended to accommodate bridge construction.

Now Open: New Access Ramp for Ashford Dunwoody Road

GDOT has also recently opened a new access ramp to Ashford Dunwoody Road from I-285 eastbound. Those exiting at Ashford Dunwoody from I-285 eastbound will need to make this exit much sooner than you’ll be familiar with – please see details about the new access point here.

Construction-Related Lane Closures on I-285

The Transform 285/400 transportation project will soon enter its most transformative stage. To complete construction, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will close two left-hand lanes in each direction of I-285, between Roswell Road and Ashford Dunwoody Road. This closure is slated to begin in Summer 2022 and will last until the project’s completion.

After the project is completed, drivers will experience less congestion to and from GA-400 and smoother, easier merging via new collector-distributor lanes.
