Traffic Alert: Lane Closure Planned for GA-400 In Sandy Springs

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Weather permitting, contractors with the Georgia Department of Transportation will close the left lane on a portion of GA-400 northbound for work related to the Transform 285/400 interchange project.

The lane closure will go into effect nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 10 to Monday, Jan. 23 from Hammond Drive to the Spalding Drive overpass, GDOT said.

Exact dates for the lane closure may change due to weather or other factors. Motorists are asked to slow down and proceed with caution, as workers could be in close proximity to the roadway.

The I-285/SR 400 interchange improvement project includes 4.3 miles of improvements on I-285 from west of Roswell Road in Fulton County, to east of Ashford Dunwoody Road in DeKalb County and 6.2 miles on S.R. 400 from the Glenridge Connector to Spalding Drive.

Motorists can also expect to see enhancements such as the construction of new flyover ramps, new collector-distributor lanes and other facilities to aid east-west travel on I-285 and north-south travel along S.R. 400.

The project also includes a diverging diamond interchange on Abernathy Road at S.R. 400 and an extension of the PATH 400 trail system to inside the perimeter. The completed project is expected to save commuters who travel the corridor eight hours per year and reduce daily delays for all users of the interchange by 20,000 hours.
