New Lane Opens on Busy Stretch of Georgia 400

Today, traffic conditions were supposed to improve for southbound commuters on a busy section of Georgia 400.

The Georgia Department of Transportation opened the shoulder between Holcomb Bridge Road and the North Springs MARTA station. This morning at 6:30, commuters were able to use the shoulder as a regular lane on that 5.5 mile stretch of Georgia 400.

GDOT Spokesperson Jill Goldberg says there was some confusion when drivers reached the Northridge exit. There, she says, the shoulder ends, forcing commuters back into the other lanes.
