INTRODUCTION The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) are preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed highway express lanes (ELs) project along the “top end” portion of Interstate 285 (I-285)/State Route (SR) 407 in the north Atlanta Metropolitan (metro) area (see Exhibit 1-1). The proposed project is the construction of PI No. 0001758, Cobb/DeKalb/Fulton Counties, I-285 Top End Express Lanes, as part of Georgia DOT's Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP). The proposed project would include ELs in each direction along 18.0 miles of I-285 from just south of Mile Marker 17 at Paces Ferry Road (Exit 18) to Henderson Road (between Mile Markers 35 and 36) and along 3.5 miles of SR 400 from south of the Glenridge Connector (between Mile Markers 5 and 6) to the vicinity of the North Springs Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Station (Mile Marker 9). The project would tie into the existing Northwest Corridor system and the existing high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes along I-85 from I-285 north for approximately 1.0 mile to Pleasantdale Road (between Mile Markers 96 and 97). The project includes a total of 22.5 centerline miles of EL improvements.
