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.
