Long-Term I-285 Westbound Lane Closure Begins October 22
To further advance the Transform 285/400 Interchange reconstruction project to final completion, the contractor for the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) will close one Interstate 285 (I-285) westbound lane Saturday, Oct. 22, between Ashford Dunwoody Road and Roswell Road. One I-285 eastbound lane was closed Saturday, Oct. 8, and will remain closed.
These long-term I-285 lane closures are for bridge demolition and reconstruction at Glenridge Drive, State Route (SR) 400, and Peachtree Dunwoody Road. The bridge replacements and associated closure of a single lane on I-285 eastbound and westbound will take at least eight months to complete and are expected to cause extreme delays around and approaching the work zone. Three lanes in each direction will remain open during the daytime hours, with the potential for additional overnight lane closures to further reduce available travel lanes.
These long-term I-285 closures will likely cause extreme delays, but the newly constructed and recently opened connecting lanes should provide some relief by offering additional roadway capacity outside of the existing interstate lanes. Motorists are urged to pay attention to signage and roadway markings and remember to drive alert.

The contractor for the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) will close one Interstate 285 eastbound lane Saturday, October 8 between Roswell Road and Ashford Dunwoody Road for bridge demolition and reconstruction at Glenridge Drive, State Route (SR) 400 and Peachtree Dunwoody Road. The closure of one lane in the westbound direction will follow approximately one week later.
The bridge replacements and associated closure of a single lane on I-285 eastbound and westbound will take at least eight months to complete and are expected to cause extreme delays around and approaching the work zone. Three lanes in each direction will remain open during the daytime hours, with the potential for additional overnight lane closures to further reduce available travel lanes.
While the long-term I-285 closures will cause extreme delays, newly constructed and recently opened connecting lanes should provide some relief by offering additional roadway capacity outside of the existing interstate lanes.
Updates will be posted to a Georgia DOT web page dedicated to lane closures: https://transform285400-gdot.hub.arcgis.com/pages/lanereductions. Georgia DOT has also developed a video explaining the lane reductions and providing suggestions for motorists to consider when making plans for navigating around them. Please watch here.
