It's time to revive285 top end!

When first opened in 1969, I-285 was designed to serve as a bypass for Atlanta.  Over the years, it has evolved into a main artery.  One of the busiest portions of I-285 is the top end between I-75 and I-85, which now struggles to support up to 250,000 vehicles each day.  With continued growth and an already frustrated public, the problems will only get worse.

revive285 top end is an innovative approach by the Georgia Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority aimed at developing a comprehensive solution for the vital top end corridor.  

revive285 top end will:

1. Assess previously planned and programmed projects to determine how they fit into the larger transportation needs of the entire corridor.
   
   
2. Determine the most effective strategy for project implementation.
   
   
3. Assess and document environmental impacts for the entire corridor, which will provide a framework for concept development.
   
   
4. Inform and involve the public at key decision-making points and throughout the project.
