The Georgia Department of Transportation has announced lane closures on I-285 and SR 400, starting March 17 and running through March 24, 2025. These closures are necessary for punch list activities and will include potential delays, reduced speeds, and detours.

The schedule includes daytime and overnight closures. On Saturday, March 22, a right lane on Peachtree Dunwoody Road at I-285 will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Overnight closures begin Monday, March 17, with one right lane on I-285 eastbound from SR 400 to Roswell Road closed between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Additional closures throughout the week include lanes on both highways:
