How Georgia DOT Manages Construction on One of the Nation’s Busiest Interchanges
To improve safety and fix congestion along a major highway in Atlanta, Georgia DOT needed to construct new roads, lanes, and ramps around the hectic I-285/SR 400 interchange. But lane closures and detours threatened to worsen traffic as developers worked to complete the re-design.
To find the best days and times for the necessary lane closures, GDOT turned to Jacobs, a key engineering firm on the project.
Using the new Construction Solutions product from StreetLight, Jacobs helped GDOT:
Identify road closures and detours that wouldn’t stall traffic
Get traffic volumes and speeds for roads with minimal to no physical counters
Deploy rapid response traffic management as conditions changed
Complete construction quickly with no complaints from the public

“The data has certainly saved time in GDOT’s ability to respond to requests for lane closures and detours submitted by the [project developer] by eliminating the need for extensive, time-consuming calculations to determine traffic volumes and speeds at various times of day. Time savings also always equate monetary savings.”
