NEW Ashford Dunwoody Ramp opening Sunday |
|
Weather permitting, Georgia Department of Transportation construction partners will open a new access ramp from I-285 eastbound to Ashford Dunwoody Road (Exit 29) on Sunday, Sept. 26 at 9 a.m. or earlier.
This means that motorists on I-285 eastbound who want to exit at Ashford Dunwoody Road will need to merge on to the new ramp just past Glenridge Drive. If you miss the exit, you’ll have to continue to the Chamblee Dunwoody Road exit (Exit 30) and circle back to Ashford Dunwoody Road on I-285 westbound. Access to Lake Hearn Drive from the new ramp to Ashford Dunwoody Road will remain. There will be no return access to I-285 eastbound from the new ramp.
Pacing may be required for crews to safely complete the traffic switch. Advanced signage will assist motorists navigating the roadway and ramp configuration.
This is part of GDOT’s Transform 285/400 project.
