GDOT and SRTA held a public hearing on the proposed I-85 HOT lane conversion project on November 12th at the Gwinnett Center from 3:00-8:00 PM. The first round of public hearings attracted 487 attendees.
The project is designed to convert the existing HOV lane to a managed HOT lane from just south of I-285 in DeKalb County to Old Peachtree Road in Gwinnett County. The intention is to create a variable priced lane that will always provide an open lane of free-flowing traffic.
