The scope of I-285 Top End Express Lanes aligns with Georgia DOT’s mobility goals for metro Atlanta and focuses on adding two new elevated, barrier-separated express lanes in each direction on I-285, alongside the existing general purpose lanes. The I-285 Top End Express Lanes will be part of the larger Georgia Express Lanes system, designed to provide drivers more reliable trip times. In addition, transit riders and state registered vanpools can utilize the express lanes at no additional cost. The project is part of Georgia DOTs Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP), which currently includes 11 large-scale projects that will build a better Georgia by enhancing mobility and safety, fueling economic growth, and improving Georgians’ quality of life.
