New flex lanes to ease gridlock on Ga. 400

NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Brand new shoulder lanes to cut the morning drive will open Monday morning.
 
The new flex lanes will give drivers relief on Ga. 400 in North Fulton County.
 
The Georgia Department of Transportation says the addition is a low cost and quick turnaround strategy.
 
The northbound flex lanes start at Abernathy Road to the MARTA North Springs station to Northridge Road and Old Milton Parkway to Windward Parkway.
 
"And on Georgia 400 southbound we'll add one more mile of flex shoulder lanes and that will start at the MARTA North Springs station and end at Abernathy Road," said GDOT spokesperson Annalysce Baker.
 
When these flex lanes open, drivers must maintain a speed limit of 45 miles per hour in the lane.
