ATLANTA - Plans for express lanes along a significant stretch of Interstate 285 are moving forward, and officials want to hear from the public.
The first of three community meetings is scheduled for Wednesday night to gather input on preliminary plans for the I-285 Express Lanes Project.
The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is conducting a study to explore the potential for expanding transit access using the planned express lanes. The proposed lanes would run along the northern portion of I-285, connecting the H.E. Holmes and Indian Creek MARTA stations.
