Georgia DOT reschedules I-285/I-20 East open houses

The Georgia Department of Transportation has rescheduled two informal meetings to educate the public about proposed improvements to the interchange serving Interstate 285 and Interstate 20 East.

The open house public-information meetings are now scheduled for Nov. 19 for the Omega World Center on Snapfinger Parkway and Nov. 21 at the Lou Walker Senior Center have been postponed to allow time for further studies that are underway, DOT says. Both meetings are scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m.

"There will be no formal presentations," the department says. "A court reporter will be available to allow the public an opportunity to make verbal comments about the project."

The meetings were originally scheduled for September.

The project is one of the initial 11 large-scale Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) projects to improve transportation in Georgia's metro areas.

Written comments about the proposal will be accepted until Dec. 9. They should be sent to:
