This Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) design-build-finance project consists of reconstructing, expanding, and reconfiguring the western interchange of I-285 and I-20 to alleviate congestion and improve traffic flow and safety for all motorists.
The improvements include:
a) Removal of left-hand ramp entrance and exits, improvements to horizontal and vertical alignments, and construction of two-lane ramps where warranted within the interchange.
b) Construction of a westbound collector-distributor (CD) system from the I-285/I-20 West Interchange to Fulton Industrial Boulevard.
c) Construction of additional lanes along I-20 eastbound from Factory Shoals Road east to Hamilton E. Holmes Drive and along I-285 from MLK Jr. Drive north to Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway to accommodate interchange improvements.
d) Modification or replacement of bridges within the interchange and along I-20. (22 bridges total)
