Interstate 285 (Georgia)

Interstate 285 (I-285) is an auxiliary Interstate Highway encircling Atlanta, Georgia, for 63.98 miles (102.97 km).[1] It connects the three major Interstate Highways to Atlanta: I-20, I-75, and I-85. Colloquially referred to as the Perimeter, it also carries unsigned State Route 407 (SR 407) and is signed as Atlanta Bypass on I-20, I-75, and I-85.

Because of suburban sprawl, it is estimated that more than two million people use the highway each day, making it one of the busiest Interstates in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and one of the most heavily traveled roadways in the US. During rush hour, portions of the highway slow, sometimes to a crawl.

Route description edit

I-285 is 8 to 12 lanes wide, with the northern part from I-75 to SR 400 to I-85 the most heavily traveled. One segment of the highway near Tom Moreland Interchange (a large, flyover highway interchange northeast of Atlanta colloquially called Spaghetti Junction) with I-85 widens to 18 lanes, including collector–distributor lanes. Exits are numbered clockwise, starting at the southwesternmost point at I-85 and ending just east of there where it meets I-85 again near Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Between I-85 and I-20 in southwest Fulton County, I-285 is designated as the Bob A. Holmes Freeway (named after the member of the Georgia House of Representative), where I-285 heads north, and has an interchange with the Langford Parkway. Between I-20 in northwest Atlanta and I-75 near Cumberland Mall, it is designated as the James E. 'Billy' McKinney Highway (named after the member of the Georgia House of Representatives) as it continues north and starts to curve to the east just west of the I-75 interchange.

The northern portion of I-285, east of the Cobb Cloverleaf (I-75 interchange) to Spaghetti Junction (I-85 interchange), is frequently called the Top End Perimeter. This section, which includes an interchange with SR 400 at exit 27 (frequently cited as the most dangerous intersections in Atlanta), is one of the busiest freeways in the US, handling about 250,000 cars per day and crossing through Cobb, Fulton, and DeKalb counties, with several interchanges (SR 141, SR 13, and I-85) bringing additional traffic to and from Gwinnett County. Through that stretch, the freeway expands from six or eight lanes to between 10 and 14  lanes.

While I-285 does not travel through Gwinnett County, the highway travels very close to the DeKalb–Gwinnett county line,[3] and many major highways in Gwinnett County connect to I-285, with some prominent ones being US Route 78 (US 78), I-85, and SR 141. Major Gwinnett cities near I-285 are Peachtree Corners and Norcross.

From exit 25 to exit 27, I-285 is concurrent with US 19.

Much of Atlanta's high-end commercial real estate has developed along I-285, particularly at the northwestern I-75 and the SR 400 interchanges. Notable buildings include the 35-story Concourse at Landmark Center in the Perimeter Center business district and the Cobb Galleria complex in the Cumberland area.

East of Spaghetti Junction, I-285's direction switches from east to south, as it connects with the Stone Mountain Freeway at exit 39, and has an interchange with I-20 at exit 46, where I-285 starts to curve toward the southwest. At exit 52, it has an interchange with I-675 and heads straight west after the interchange with I-75 near the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

A portion of the section between I-75 and I-85 on the south side of I-285 has been bridged with a new runway and taxiway of Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, one of only two Interstates in the nation (along with I-564 in Norfolk, Virginia) to have an underpass beneath a runway (underpasses for taxiways do occur elsewhere). Computer animations were developed prior to construction to simulate a jumbo jet touching down on the runway from a driver's perspective. The entire highway within the tunnels is outfitted with stopped-vehicle sensors and fire detectors. Two electronic signs on either side of the tunnel can warn drivers if the tunnel is closed in an emergency. For 1.21 miles (1.95 km) in the southwest corner, I-85 occupies the median of I-285, yet the roadways remain separate.[1]

Heavy trucks traveling through (but not into) Atlanta are required to bypass the city on I-285, as there is a well-signed and heavily enforced ban on through truck traffic along I-75, I-85, I-20, SR 400, and many other major Atlanta thoroughfares. As with highways just outside I-285, trucks are also prohibited from the far-left one or two lanes (except where there are left exits open to trucks).

The complete circumference of I-285 is covered by Georgia Navigator, Georgia's intelligent transportation system (ITS). There have been 153 closed-circuit television traffic cameras, 26 electronic-message signs, and traffic-detection sensors installed in phases between 1999 and 2010 by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). Additionally, ramp meters are present at nearly all entrance ramps onto I-285, with the exception of the southeast section of I-285 and the major freeway-to-freeway connection ramps.

To many residents of Atlanta, the Perimeter defines a useful boundary to separate the Atlanta metropolitan area's core from its surrounding suburbs. People distinguish a location as being inside or outside the Perimeter, sometimes abbreviated as ITP and OTP, a recent local neologism.[4] This was also the rough boundary chosen by BellSouth for separating landline telephone exchanges in suburban area code 770 from the existing area code 404 in 1995.[5] Generally, 404 is Atlanta itself and most suburbs inside the Perimeter, while 770 serves most of the suburbs outside the Perimeter.

The entire length of I-285 is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.[6]

History edit

Early history edit

 
Atlanta, Georgia, 1955 Yellow Book with I-285 route

The route that became I-285 was first proposed by the Metropolitan Plan Commission, the predecessor agency to the Atlanta Regional Commission, in 1952, and added to the proposal that became the Interstate Highway System in 1955. At the time, much of the area through which the freeway now passes was still rural, but beginning to suburbanize, and the Interstate was initially intended to serve as a bypass of the city.[7]

The first contract for I-285, a 2.5-mile (4.0 km) section in DeKalb County that included part of the then-cloverleaf interchange with I-85, was awarded in June 1958.[7] The 7.4 miles (11.9 km) stretch between I-20 and East Ponce De Leon Avenue on the east side opened on August 24, 1968.[8] The 5.6 miles (9.0 km) section between I-20 on the east side and US 23 opened in early September 1968.[8] The last stretch of the route opened on October 15, 1969, in a ceremony officiated by then-Governor Lester Maddox.[9] Construction of the Interstate cost $90 million (equivalent to $518 million in 2021[10]), and the entire route was initially two lanes in each direction for its entire length.[11]

I-285 was widened to eight lanes in multiple phases as part of the Freeing the Freeways program at a cost of $355 million (equivalent to $685 million in 2021[10]).[11] The first stretch to be widened was the Top End section between Paces Ferry Road directly west of the interchange with I-75 and Chamblee Tucker Road, which began in July 1976 and was completed in August 1978.[7] The section on the south end between US 19/41 and the eastern I-20 interchange was widened between June 1978 and November 1979.[7] The section between the eastern I-20 interchange and Chamblee Tucker road was widened between August 1980 and December 1982.[7] Work on widening the stretch on the west side between I-85 and Paces Ferry Road began in September 1981 and was completed in August 1983.[7] The final widening project was completed in 1989 with the completion of the reconstruction of the concurrent section with I-85.[11]

The Top End section between I-75 and I-85 was expanded to 10 lanes in the mid-1990s by narrowing the lanes by one foot (0.30 m) and narrowing parts of the shoulders.

Interchange modification projects edit

Since its construction, most of the system-to-system interchanges on I-285 have been modified from their original configurations. Most of these were rebuilt or expanded during the Freeing the Freeways program.[7]

The cloverleaf interchange with I-85 in DeKalb County, which had earned the nickname "Malfunction Junction", was reconstructed into the present Tom Moreland Interchange configuration, commonly known as "Spaghetti Junction", between January 10, 1983, and July 9, 1987.[12]

The Emory Parrish Interchange, commonly known as the Cobb Cloverleaf, has been modified on multiple occasions. The first project, which took place in the late 1970s, constructed new mainline carriageways for I-285 traffic through the interchange, eliminating lefthand exits, and repurposed the original lanes into adjacent collector–distributor ramps. The next project, which took place in the mid-1980s, constructed a new flyover ramp between I-75 southbound and I-285 eastbound, and modified the connections between the interchange and the I-75 interchange to the north with Windy Hill Road with the addition of several new collector–distributor lanes and slip ramps to eliminate weaving. The original loop ramp that the flyover replaced, however, was left in place and remains in operation in the present day. The next modification occurred between 1996 and 1999 with the construction of the Cumberland Boulevard interchange on I-75 to the south. As part of this project, new collector–distributor ramps were constructed along I-75 between the Cobb Cloverleaf and the new interchange. In addition, the grading for a new flyover ramp from I-75 north to I-285 west to replace the existing loop ramp was constructed; however, no such ramp was ever constructed.[13] The most recent modification, which took place between 2014 and 2018, added new access points to I-285 within the interchange for the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes.

The approximately 1.6-mile (2.6 km) stretch of I-285 that runs concurrent with I-85 was heavily modified in multiple projects between the early and late 1980s that included the construction of separate adjacent carriageways for I-85 and I-285 in an effort to eliminate weaving and the addition of several collector–distributor ramps serving other roads.[14]

Recent history edit

Until 2000, the state of Georgia used the sequential interchange numbering system on all of its Interstate Highways. The first exit on each highway began with the number "1" and increase numerically with each exit. In 2000, GDOT switched to a mileage-based exit system, in which the exit number corresponded to the nearest milepost.[15][16]

GDOT voted in September 2012 to raise the speed limit from 55 to 65 mph (89 to 105 km/h) on the entire freeway and, by 2013, to install electronic signs for variable speed limits north of I-20, to lower the speed limit when traffic or weather conditions warrant. This is intended to keep traffic moving at a reduced but steady speed, rather than suddenly braking drivers causing traffic to "clot" simply because other drivers are also braking (which causes unnecessary stop-and-go traffic).[17]

In 2013, there were 26 fatal accidents on I-285, giving it the highest rate of such accidents per 10 miles (16 km) of any Interstate in the country.[18]

Future edit

Since the 1970s, GDOT has planned an outer loop, which would be a roughly 230-mile-long (370 km) circumferential loop around the Atlanta metropolitan area. Under Governor Sonny Perdue, the plans were dropped from the Regional Transportation Plan, in favor of the expansion of the rural state road network outside of Atlanta. The state will instead widen portions of SR 20 north of the Atlanta metropolitan area, along a similar alignment to the Northern Arc.[19]

GDOT broke ground in November 2017 on major improvements to the I-285/SR 400 interchange. The project includes collector–distributor roads along I-285 and SR 400, the addition of a diverging diamond interchange at SR 400 and Abernathy Road, and new flyover ramps.[20] The project has total costs of $800 million and construction is expected to be complete in late 2020.[21][needs update]

In January 2016, Governor Nathan Deal announced the major mobility investment program (MMIP), a collection of megaprojects planned around the state. The program includes the addition of express lanes on I-285 from I-20 (exit 10) across the north end of Atlanta to I-20 (exit 46). The program also includes reconstructing the interchanges with I-20.[22]

The MMIP will construct two express lanes in each direction between Paces Ferry Road (mile 19) and Henderson Road (mile 35).[23] This segment includes the addition of express lanes through major interchanges with I-75, SR 400, and I-85. Other projects will construct one express lane in each direction between I-20 (exit 10) and Paces Ferry Road,[24] and from Henderson Road to I-20 (exit 46).[25] The completion of all express lanes is planned in 2032.[26]

On July 31, 2012, metro-area voters rejected the T-special-purpose local-option sales tax comprehensive transportation plan that was to be funded by an additional one-percent sales tax over a 10-year period. Among the projects included in the plan was a new exit on I-285 at Greenbriar Parkway on the southwest side of Atlanta (between present exits 2 and 5), as well as major reconstruction of interchanges at exits 27 (US 19/SR 400), 10 (I-20 west of Atlanta), and 33 (I-85 northeast of Atlanta).[27][28]

In popular culture edit

Atlanta Braves pitcher Pascual Pérez became widely associated with I-285 after he got lost on it while trying to drive to a game. On August 19, 1982, Pérez, who had just received his first US driver's license, decided to drive himself to Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium (where the Braves played their home games at the time), where he was scheduled to start that evening's game against the Montreal Expos. He was unable to find the proper exit and circled the city several times before running out of gas and calling for help. When Pérez failed to arrive at the stadium by game time, the Braves called upon veteran pitcher Phil Niekro to make the emergency start. The Braves, who had been mired in a 2–19 slump, won the game,[31] kicking off a 13–2 winning streak that carried the team to the National League West division title. The team subsequently made for Pérez a warmup jacket with the notation "I-285" in place of his uniform number.[32] The humor of the incident was credited for helping to improve the morale of the team and breaking the losing streak.[33]

template message I 285 is 8 to 12 lanes wide with the northern part from I 75 to SR 400 to I 85 the most heavily traveled One segment of the highway near Tom Moreland Interchange a large flyover highway interchange northeast of Atlanta colloquially called Spaghetti Junction with I 85 widens to 18 lanes including collector distributor lanes Exits are numbered clockwise starting at the southwesternmost point at I 85 and ending just east of there where it meets I 85 again near Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport Between I 85 and I 20 in southwest Fulton County I 285 is designated as the Bob A Holmes Freeway named after the member of the Georgia House of Representative where I 285 heads north and has an interchange with the Langford Parkway Between I 20 in northwest Atlanta and I 75 near Cumberland Mall it is designated as the James E Billy McKinney Highway named after the member of the Georgia House of Representatives as it continues north and starts to curve to the east just west of the I 75 interchange The northern portion of I 285 east of the Cobb Cloverleaf I 75 interchange to Spaghetti Junction I 85 interchange is frequently called the Top End Perimeter This section which includes an interchange with SR 400 at exit 27 frequently cited as the most dangerous intersections in Atlanta is one of the busiest freeways in the US handling about 250 000 cars per day and crossing through Cobb Fulton and DeKalb counties with several interchanges SR 141 SR 13 and I 85 bringing additional traffic to and from Gwinnett County Through that stretch the freeway expands from six or eight lanes to between 10 and 14 lanes While I 285 does not travel through Gwinnett County the highway travels very close to the DeKalb Gwinnett county line 3 and many major highways in Gwinnett County connect to I 285 with some prominent ones being US Route 78 US 78 I 85 and SR 141 Major Gwinnett cities near I 285 are Peachtree Corners and Norcross From exit 25 to exit 27 I 285 is concurrent with US 19 Much of Atlanta s high end commercial real estate has developed along I 285 particularly at the northwestern I 75 and the SR 400 interchanges Notable buildings include the 35 story Concourse at Landmark Center in the Perimeter Center business district and the Cobb Galleria complex in the Cumberland area East of Spaghetti Junction I 285 s direction switches from east to south as it connects with the Stone Mountain Freeway at exit 39 and has an interchange with I 20 at exit 46 where I 285 starts to curve toward the southwest At exit 52 it has an interchange with I 675 and heads straight west after the interchange with I 75 near the Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport nbsp I 285 at the I 20 interchange east of AtlantaA portion of the section between I 75 and I 85 on the south side of I 285 has been bridged with a new runway and taxiway of Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport one of only two Interstates in the nation along with I 564 in Norfolk Virginia to have an underpass beneath a runway underpasses for taxiways do occur elsewhere Computer animations were developed prior to construction to simulate a jumbo jet touching down on the runway from a driver s perspective The entire highway within the tunnels is outfitted with stopped vehicle sensors and fire detectors Two electronic signs on either side of the tunnel can warn drivers if the tunnel is closed in an emergency For 1 21 miles 1 95 km in the southwest corner I 85 occupies the median of I 285 yet the roadways remain separate 1 Heavy trucks traveling through but not into Atlanta are required to bypass the city on I 285 as there is a well signed and heavily enforced ban on through truck traffic along I 75 I 85 I 20 SR 400 and many other major Atlanta thoroughfares As with highways just outside I 285 trucks are also prohibited from the far left one or two lanes except where there are left exits open to trucks The complete circumference of I 285 is covered by Georgia Navigator Georgia s intelligent transportation system ITS There have been 153 closed circuit television traffic cameras 26 electronic message signs and traffic detection sensors installed in phases between 1999 and 2010 by the Georgia Department of Transportation GDOT Additionally ramp meters are present at nearly all entrance ramps onto I 285 with the exception of the southeast section of I 285 and the major freeway to freeway connection ramps To many residents of Atlanta the Perimeter defines a useful boundary to separate the Atlanta metropolitan area s core from its surrounding suburbs People distinguish a location as being inside or outside the Perimeter sometimes abbreviated as ITP and OTP a recent local neologism 4 This was also the rough boundary chosen by BellSouth for separating landline telephone exchanges in suburban area code 770 from the existing area code 404 in 1995 5 Generally 404 is Atlanta itself and most suburbs inside the Perimeter while 770 serves most of the suburbs outside the Perimeter The entire length of I 285 is part of the National Highway System a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation s economy mobility and defense 6 History editEarly history edit nbsp Atlanta Georgia 1955 Yellow Book with I 285 routeThe route that became I 285 was first proposed by the Metropolitan Plan Commission the predecessor agency to the Atlanta Regional Commission in 1952 and added to the proposal that became the Interstate Highway System in 1955 At the time much of the area through which the freeway now passes was still rural but beginning to suburbanize and the Interstate was initially intended to serve as a bypass of the city 7 The first contract for I 285 a 2 5 mile 4 0 km section in DeKalb County that included part of the then cloverleaf interchange with I 85 was awarded in June 1958 7 The 7 4 miles 11 9 km stretch between I 20 and East Ponce De Leon Avenue on the east side opened on August 24 1968 8 The 5 6 miles 9 0 km section between I 20 on the east side and US 23 opened in early September 1968 8 The last stretch of the route opened on October 15 1969 in a ceremony officiated by then Governor Lester Maddox 9 Construction of the Interstate cost 90 million equivalent to 518 million in 2021 10 and the entire route was initially two lanes in each direction for its entire length 11 I 285 was widened to eight lanes in multiple phases as part of the Freeing the Freeways program at a cost of 355 million equivalent to 685 million in 2021 10 11 The first stretch to be widened was the Top End section between Paces Ferry Road directly west of the interchange with I 75 and Chamblee Tucker Road which began in July 1976 and was completed in August 1978 7 The section on the south end between US 19 41 and the eastern I 20 interchange was widened between June 1978 and November 1979 7 The section between the eastern I 20 interchange and Chamblee Tucker road was widened between August 1980 and December 1982 7 Work on widening the stretch on the west side between I 85 and Paces Ferry Road began in September 1981 and was completed in August 1983 7 The final widening project was completed in 1989 with the completion of the reconstruction of the concurrent section with I 85 11 The Top End section between I 75 and I 85 was expanded to 10 lanes in the mid 1990s by narrowing the lanes by one foot 0 30 m and narrowing parts of the shoulders Interchange modification projects edit Since its construction most of the system to system interchanges on I 285 have been modified from their original configurations Most of these were rebuilt or expanded during the Freeing the Freeways program 7 The cloverleaf interchange with I 85 in DeKalb County which had earned the nickname Malfunction Junction was reconstructed into the present Tom Moreland Interchange configuration commonly known as Spaghetti Junction between January 10 1983 and July 9 1987 12 The Emory Parrish Interchange commonly known as the Cobb Cloverleaf has been modified on multiple occasions The first project which took place in the late 1970s constructed new mainline carriageways for I 285 traffic through the interchange eliminating lefthand exits and repurposed the original lanes into adjacent collector distributor ramps The next project which took place in the mid 1980s constructed a new flyover ramp between I 75 southbound and I 285 eastbound and modified the connections between the interchange and the I 75 interchange to the north with Windy Hill Road with the addition of several new collector distributor lanes and slip ramps to eliminate weaving The original loop ramp that the flyover replaced however was left in place and remains in operation in the present day The next modification occurred between 1996 and 1999 with the construction of the Cumberland Boulevard interchange on I 75 to the south As part of this project new collector distributor ramps were constructed along I 75 between the Cobb Cloverleaf and the new interchange In addition the grading for a new flyover ramp from I 75 north to I 285 west to replace the existing loop ramp was constructed however no such ramp was ever constructed 13 The most recent modification which took place between 2014 and 2018 added new access points to I 285 within the interchange for the Northwest Corridor Express Lanes The approximately 1 6 mile 2 6 km stretch of I 285 that runs concurrent with I 85 was heavily modified in multiple projects between the early and late 1980s that included the construction of separate adjacent carriageways for I 85 and I 285 in an effort to eliminate weaving and the addition of several collector distributor ramps serving other roads 14 Recent history edit Until 2000 the state of Georgia used the sequential interchange numbering system on all of its Interstate Highways The first exit on each highway began with the number 1 and increase numerically with each exit In 2000 GDOT switched to a mileage based exit system in which the exit number corresponded to the nearest milepost 15 16 GDOT voted in September 2012 to raise the speed limit from 55 to 65 mph 89 to 105 km h on the entire freeway and by 2013 to install electronic signs for variable speed limits north of I 20 to lower the speed limit when traffic or weather conditions warrant This is intended to keep traffic moving at a reduced but steady speed rather than suddenly braking drivers causing traffic to clot simply because other drivers are also braking which causes unnecessary stop and go traffic 17 In 2013 there were 26 fatal accidents on I 285 giving it the highest rate of such accidents per 10 miles 16 km of any Interstate in the country 18 Future editSince the 1970s GDOT has planned an outer loop which would be a roughly 230 mile long 370 km circumferential loop around the Atlanta metropolitan area Under Governor Sonny Perdue the plans were dropped from the Regional Transportation Plan in favor of the expansion of the rural state road network outside of Atlanta The state will instead widen portions of SR 20 north of the Atlanta metropolitan area along a similar alignment to the Northern Arc 19 GDOT broke ground in November 2017 on major improvements to the I 285 SR 400 interchange The project includes collector distributor roads along I 285 and SR 400 the addition of a diverging diamond interchange at SR 400 and Abernathy Road and new flyover ramps 20 The project has total costs of 800 million and construction is expected to be complete in late 2020 21 needs update In January 2016 Governor Nathan Deal announced the major mobility investment program MMIP a collection of megaprojects planned around the state The program includes the addition of express lanes on I 285 from I 20 exit 10 across the north end of Atlanta to I 20 exit 46 The program also includes reconstructing the interchanges with I 20 22 The MMIP will construct two express lanes in each direction between Paces Ferry Road mile 19 and Henderson Road mile 35 23 This segment includes the addition of express lanes through major interchanges with I 75 SR 400 and I 85 Other projects will construct one express lane in each direction between I 20 exit 10 and Paces Ferry Road 24 and from Henderson Road to I 20 exit 46 25 The completion of all express lanes is planned in 2032 26 On July 31 2012 metro area voters rejected the T special purpose local option sales tax comprehensive transportation plan that was to be funded by an additional one percent sales tax over a 10 year period Among the projects included in the plan was a new exit on I 285 at Greenbriar Parkway on the southwest side of Atlanta between present exits 2 and 5 as well as major reconstruction of interchanges at exits 27 US 19 SR 400 10 I 20 west of Atlanta and 33 I 85 northeast of Atlanta 27 28 Exit list editThe following exits are listed clockwise from the southwest going south to north west

Pascual Perez became widely associated with I 285 after he got lost on it while trying to drive to a game On August 19 1982 Perez who had just received his first US driver s license decided to drive himself to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium where the Braves played their home games at the time where he was scheduled to start that evening s game against the Montreal Expos He was unable to find the proper exit and circled the city several times before running out of gas and calling for help When Perez failed to arrive at the stadium by game time the Braves called upon veteran pitcher Phil Niekro to make the emergency start The Braves who had been mired in a 2 19 slump won the game 31 kicking off a 13 2 winning streak that carried the team to the National League West division title The team subsequently made for Perez a warmup jacket with the notation I 285 in place of his uniform number 32 The humor of the incident was credited for helping to improve the morale of the team and breaking the losing streak 33 See also edit nbsp U S roads portal nbsp Georgia U S state portalReferences edit a b c Starks Edward January 27 2022 Table 2 Auxiliary Routes of the Dwight D Eisenhower National
