Sucks donkey balls.

They took something that was originally bad and somehow made it 10x worse.

It's been under construction since like 2016 and the number of orange cones has multiplied since then.

Exit ramps change locations and/or close on a whim. Entry ramps get clogged like Lizzo's arteries. Stop and go traffic consequently is from 6-10am and again from 3-7pm. My office is situated right off of it and I have to put up with this shite every day.

Apparently the bid for the project was given to the company with the "best financial package" AKA the one with the most kickbacks and best laundering practices.

You BR baws hoping for a loop better be careful what you wish for.

285EB to 400N was a legit "might be getting my number called today" interchange

They are putting in HOT lanes. It sucks right now but will be worth it in the end.

Exit 27 off of 285 If memory serves. Lived in Alpharetta for three years. It was the bane of my existence during that time.

In fairness, it isn't fully finished yet (the same problem occurred during the construction of Spaghetti Junction and "Freeing the Freeways" back in the 80s.

Ferrovial (one of the JV partners on this project) is absolute garbage.

GA-400


What dumb arse thought it would be good to run the MARTA lines in the median and build stations in the middle of the road with pedestrian walk ways to connect to the stations?


That is like Vegas, the Monorail line ends at the MGM Grand, but the airport terminal is about a mile away. With about 2 miles of track, they can build a station at the airport connecting the strip and the airport terminal. Now the car rental terminal is all the way on the otherside of the airport, that is about as screwed up as New Orleans.
