Transform 285/400: I-285 Westbound Collector-Distributor Lane to Open to Traffic August 2
WHAT: Weather permitting, Georgia Department of Transportation construction partners will open a new collector-distributor (CD) lane on I-285 westbound from Peachtree Dunwoody Road to Roswell Road. The new CD lane will also serve as the exit ramp from I-285 westbound to Roswell Road, which will require motorists to make their exit decision to much sooner.
Motorists on I-285 westbound desiring to exit at Roswell Road will need to merge on to the CD lane between Peachtree Dunwoody Road and SR 400. Motorists who miss this exit will have to exit at Riverside Drive (Exit 24) and get back on I-285 eastbound to access Roswell Road. There will be a slip ramp to get back on I-285 westbound from the CD lane.
Pacing may be required for crews to safely complete the traffic switch. Advanced signage will assist motorists navigating the roadway and ramp configuration. Motorists should also pay close attention to the new roadway configuration.
WHEN: Monday, August 2, 2021, 5 a.m. or earlier
WHERE: I-285 westbound collector-distributor lane from Peachtree Dunwoody Road to Roswell Road
