The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) is set to hold an Industry Forum that will showcase the State Route (SR) 400 Express Lanes Project. The program will include remarks by Georgia DOT Commissioner Russell McMurry who will speak on innovation and the future mobility in Georgia.

The SR 400 Express Lanes is one of the initial 11 Major Mobility Investment Program projects to improve mobility along this vital north-south transportation corridor. The project will be part of the larger Georgia Express Lanes network, designed to provide a connected transportation system with reliable trip times for motorists.

The project focuses on adding two buffer-separated express lanes in each direction between the North Springs MARTA Station and McGinnis Ferry Road. Additionally, one buffer-separated express lane will be constructed in each direction from McGinnis Ferry Road to McFarland Parkway.

The project is in early stages of development, so the initial concept design is underway and access points are still being determined. Based on comments received at the Public Information Open Houses (PIOHs) in February and March of 2019, along with feedback from the City of Sandy Springs, the project team has evaluated the proposed design of the express lanes at the Northridge area. An alternative has been proposed and while it is not the final design, we are pleased to demonstrate that the Department is serious about listening and responding to concerns from the communities we serve

The Forum will be held on November 14, 2019 at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Midtown (Georgia Ballroom) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
