GDOT looks for solutions to traffic congestion

Traffic on Georgia 400 is only going to get worse, according to state transportation officials. So the Georgia Department of Transportation is conducting a feasibility study to determine the best way to ease the expected congestion.

The study targets a 24-mile stretch of Georgia 400 between I-285 and Highway 20 in Forsyth County. GDOT held a public meeting in Roswell last night, where some residents only heard one option: “toll lane.” Mark McKinnon, spokesman for the agency says,

“One of the possibilities mentioned is a HOT lane or High Occupancy Toll lane. But certainly that is not part of this project yet. That is just simply an idea.”
