Georgia Department of transport - Georgia DOT in the USA is ready to hold an industry day in November 2019 for the State Route 400 (SR 400) road project in the city of Atlanta. Authority will issue RFQ for the project on the industry day. Initially,  the RFQ process was set to be launched in 2020.

SR 400 is a vital north-south transportation corridor in metro Atlanta that connects people, jobs, and freight. SR 400 will add new miles in Atlanta city. Under this project, two buffer-separated express lanes in each direction between North Springs MARTA Station and McGinnis Ferry Road and one buffer-separated express lane in each direction from McGinnis Ferry Road to McFarland Parkway will be constructed. It will provide more reliable trip times and free access for transit and vanpools and reduce the delay by 19,000+ hours each day in the SR 400 corridor by 2030.

The express lanes will feature dynamic pricing, rising as demand increases during peak travel times and falling at off-peak times, giving drivers the choice to pay a fee to bypass congestion. Georgia’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) system is planned to run along this project corridor. Once completed by MARTA, transit providers will have access to the express lanes at multiple access points along the corridor.

Georgia DOT is currently conducting environmental studies, which will continue through 2020. The project team will evaluate the construction of express lanes along SR 400 and anticipate holding a series of Public Information Open Houses (PIOHs) in early 2019. Construction is currently scheduled to begin in 2021 with the express lanes opening to traffic in 2024.
