ATLANTA, GA – The North Fulton Community Improvement District voted to fully fund an expansion of the Georgia Highway 400 off-ramp at Windward Parkway, allowing for an expedited construction schedule that will drastically reduce congestion. The $500,000 project will add a right-turn lane along Windward Parkway, from the exit ramp to North Point Parkway.
Congestion at the Windward Parkway and Georgia 400 interchange is notorious. More than 168,000 cars each day pass through the interchange causing major back-ups on both arteries.
“I’ve seen people on Georgia 400 northbound reading books and newspapers while waiting to get on Windward Parkway in the morning,” said CID Board Member Moses Brown, vice president of Reed Elsevier/LexisNexis. “That exit ramp is a significant bottleneck, and a serious safety concern for commuters trying to get to Windward Parkway.”
The CID selected PBS&J to manage the Windward project. Jordan, Jones & Goulding (JJ&G) is designing the new lane to relieve morning rush-hour congestion.
