Commuters on State Route 400 should brace themselves for upcoming traffic disruptions as the Georgia Department of Transportation gears up for the next stage of its express lanes project. According to an advisory shared by the Clayton County's official website, lane closures will impact a 16-mile stretch from the MARTA North Springs Station to just north of McFarland Parkway.
The specifics of the lane closures depend on the whims of the weather, with roadwork temporarily narrowing the flow of traffic. For those planning their daily commutes, it is essential to stay flexible, as road conditions and work schedules can change with the weather or unexpected events. "Motorists are advised to expect delays, exercise caution, and reduce their speed while traveling through work zones," the department cautions, a message echoed on Clayton County's official website.
Staying ahead of these traffic perturbations demands a healthy dose of preparedness. The Georgia Department of Transportation urges drivers to check the SR 400 Express Lanes website before starting their journeys. The savvy traveler will also glean real-time information from "511", the 511ga.org portal, or by leveraging the Georgia 511 mobile app to navigate the expected disruptions.
