I-285 top end traffic/travel alternatives
New resources released As one of the nation’s most traveled and congested highways, I-285’s top end has become a focal point for improvement in the state of Georgia. Initiated in 2006, the Georgia Department of Transportation’s and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority’s revive285 top end project has been in the process of the development, identification and selection of solutions to improve congestion, safety, system linkage and transportation options on this vital corridor. In July 2010, GDOT and GRTA announced that four solutions, or alternatives (narrowed from eight reviewed in 2009), are advancing for further consideration. The project is now in the process of drafting an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)* with regards to these alternatives. When the statement is drafted, the public will be invited to review and comment.
