GDOT Chief: 285/400 Project will Save Time, Lives
Monday, December 14th, 2015
Time—and lives—will be saved by the upcoming reconstruction of the I-285/Ga. 400 interchange, state transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry said at a Dec. 11 luncheon celebrating GDOT’s selection of construction team North Perimeter Contractors.
“We always get focused on what the design is and what the project will look like…but sometimes we lose sight of what the project does,” McMurry said at the Perimeter Business Alliance luncheon at Dunwoody’s La Meridien Atlanta Perimeter Hotel. This project will annually save commuters eight hours and employers $100 million in lost productivity, and will reduce accidents in the crash-prone corridor, he said.
