Revive 285, Express Lanes from I-75 to I-85 The project would consist of the construction of two Express Lanes in each direction, on the outside of the existing general purpose travel lanes, with operational improvements and Collector-Distributor (CD) systems at various locations along I-285. Specific operational and CD system improvements currently being considered for the project include:
- One I-285 westbound auxiliary lane between Roswell
Road and Riverside Drive
- I-75 North/I-285 interchange improvements
- I-85 North/I-285 interchange improvements
- I-285 CD lanes from Ashford-Dunwoody Road to SR
141/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
