Fulton, DeKalb Counties…
Blasting Along I-285 Eastbound Requires Traffic Pacing for the Transform 285/400 Project
WHAT: Georgia Department of Transportation construction partners will pace traffic on I-285 eastbound and westbound from the Perimeter Center Parkway overpass to Ashford Dunwoody Road and stop traffic on Perimeter Center Parkway for the controlled blasting of rock. The blasting will take place along I-285 eastbound from Perimeter Center Parkway to Ashford Dunwoody Road from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, starting Wednesday, March 3. The blasting is expected to occur for approximately three weeks and is necessary to allow contractors to begin constructing a collector-distributor (CD) lane.
WHEN/WHERE:
I-285 eastbound and westbound between Perimeter Center Parkway and Ashford Dunwoody Road
Traffic pacing will occur at the following locations:
- I-285 eastbound at Roswell Road
- I-285 westbound at Chamblee Dunwoody Road
- SR 400 northbound at I-285 eastbound ramp
- SR 400 southbound at I-285 eastbound ramp
Traffic will be stopped at the locations below:
- Perimeter Center Parkway from Lake Hearn Drive to Hammond Drive
ADVISORY: As always, motorists traveling in the area are reminded to reduce their speeds in the work zone. Motorists are also encouraged to wear seatbelts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and plan their routes before getting on the road by calling 511 for real-time information on work status and traffic conditions.
