Georgia 400 finally being widened north of Atlanta

Governor Announces Georgia 400 Improvement Project
Fast Forward Program Accelerates Completion Date


ATLANTA - Governor Sonny Perdue announced today the widening of
Georgia 400 from Holcomb Bridge Road in Fulton County to McFarland Road
in Forsyth County - a project that will help to ease congestion and
improve safety in the heavily traveled area.

"Georgia is a growing, dynamic state. With that growth comes many
challenges, especially in our transportation infrastructure. Today
we're addressing one of the major congestion and safety challenges
facing metro Atlanta - Georgia 400," said Governor Sonny Perdue.
"I want to applaud GDOT and GRTA for all their work in getting us to
this stage. It is with this level of cooperation and coordination that
we can move forward in solving some of the transportation challenges
facing this region."

Northbound, the project will add a lane from Holcomb Bridge to Haynes
Bridge Road; two lanes from Haynes Bridge to Windward Parkway and then
one lane from Windward Parkway to McFarland Road. There will be one
additional lane southbound from McFarland to Haynes Bridge.

"GA 400, north of the Chattahoochee River, is one of the most
congested corridors in the metro area. One of Georgia DOT's primary
goals is to meet our customer's needs and I cannot think of a more
needed project that would benefit our customers; reduce congestion and
improve safety along that corridor," said Harold Linnenkohl,
commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).

The $40 million project will be bid on in August 2005 and construction
is scheduled to begin in the fall. With additional funding from the
Governor's Fast Forward program, the new lanes will be open to
traffic in August 2007.

This much needed improvement will help to smooth the flow of the daily
traffic volumes ranging from 163,000 just north of Holcomb Bridge Road
to 75,000 just south of McFarland Road. In addition, the project will
add median safety devices between the northbound and southbound lanes
to prevent errant vehicles from crossing over and crashing into traffic
in the opposite lanes. Noise walls will be installed along seven
residential areas that will be impacted by the traffic noise.

GDOT and GRTA are currently working to reconstruct the Georgia 400
shoulders. When the shoulder work is completed in September 2005, GDOT
will permit the operation of MARTA and GRTA buses on the shoulders.
This will allow transit customers to bypass severe traffic congestion.

"Improving mobility in the region is key for GRTA. This project, the
current buses on shoulder project, and the proposed further
improvements will contribute greatly to improving mobility and safety
for drivers, transit riders and every one else who uses the Georgia 400
corridor," said Steve Stancil, executive director of the Georgia
Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA).

Additional proposed projects to help improve congestion along the GA400
corridor include:

HOV lanes - SR400 from I-285 to McFarland Road/Forsyth County
Interchange improvement - SR400 @ Northridge Road (part of the HOV
project)
Interchange - SR400 from @ Hammond/Abernathy to north of Spalding
including collector-distribut­or lanes
Interchange reconstruction - I-285/SR400

---

Ironically, most of the section being widened is currently under
construction. They are rehabiliting and widening the emergency
shoulder to accomadate buses during peak travel times. Almost
immediately after this project is finished, the road will become a
construction zone again with the addition of the new lanes. The
overpasses have already been widened, so they will most likely not to
be modified. The road is currently concrete through this area and I
wonder if they will keep the concrete or repave it with asphalt.

10 years too late. Now it will inconvenience twice as many people while
it's built.

 Hopefully the inconvenience will not be too bad as the lanes will be
built in the median areas. This project should be fairly easy to
accomplish, but the section of 400 between 285 and Holcomb Bridge will
probably not see much in the way of improvements until the Abernathy
Road and 285 interchanges are improved...
