Why this matters in The Atlanta
The lane closures on GA 400 will undoubtedly impact commuters who rely on this major artery to travel through the Atlanta area. With single-lane closures planned for 16 miles of the state route, drivers can expect significant delays, especially during peak travel times. The construction project, which aims to bring Express Lanes to the area, may ultimately alleviate some of the congestion on GA 400, but in the short term, it will likely cause frustration for those who use this route daily. Residents who live in the surrounding areas, such as those near the MARTA North Springs Station and McFarland Parkway, should be prepared for potential traffic backups and plan their commutes accordingly. The nighttime construction schedule may help minimize some of the disruption, but drivers should still exercise caution when navigating the work zones.
