Submitted information:

As we all know, the northern portion of Interstate-285 is one of the most heavily-traveled and congested highways in the country. Georgia Department of Transportation staff seeks to improve traffic flow and safety with the Major Mobility Investment Program.

You are invited to GDOT public information open house meetings Jan. 23-30 to discuss the I-285 Top End Express Lanes and I-285 Advanced Improvement Projects. The open houses in Cobb will be held noon-2 p.m. and 4:30-7:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 30, at the Gallery at Cobb Galleria.
