Peachtree Dunwoody Road & 285 Bridge Replacement
Construction Timeline:
April 2019 – December 2020
Traffic Changes:
Closure of one northbound lane on Peachtree Dunwoody Road as it passes under I-285. This modification is intended to be constant through the end of the Transform 285/400 project.
More Information:
In addition to replacing and widening the stretch of I-285 that crosses overhead, this project is providing a section of trail that will allow PATH400 to reach the Perimeter area.
Glenridge Drive & I-285 Bridge Replacement
Construction Timeline:

Traffic Changes:
Closure of one southbound lane on Glenridge Drive as it passes under I-285. This modification is intended to be constant through the end of the Transform 285/400 project.
More Information:
This project will create an additional turn lane onto I-285 westbound and separate left-turning traffic from northbound traffic on Glenridge. It will also create space for the collector-distributor lanes to pass overhead.
Mt. Vernon Highway Bridge Replacement
Construction Timeline:
2018 – 2020
Traffic Changes:
One lane of travel in each direction on Mt. Vernon Hwy will be in place during construction; phase one of the bridge will be completed and traffic will be routed onto the new bridge. From there, the phase two bridge will be built.
More Information:
The first phase will be completed in Q1 of 2020. GDOT will then switch traffic to the completed bridge and replace the old bridge. This second phase will begin in Q2 of 2020.
