The Georgia Department of Transportation is inviting public input on a major upcoming project that will affect the I-20/I-285 corridors in Cobb, Douglas and Fulton counties. It’s the I-285/I-20 West Interchange project and is part of the Major Mobility Investment Project.

The website for the project describes the scope as follows:
The I-285/I-20 West Interchange project calls for improvements of the interchange and addition of lanes along I-20 in Cobb, Douglas, and Fulton counties. Additional work includes construction of collector-distributor (CD) lanes and the modification or replacements of bridges along I-20. This project, once completed, will provide more efficient traffic flow through the interchange.
GDOT has set up an informational website on the project, which includes the following video along with a project map. The video is a little under five minutes long, and shows what the project will look like, with an animated aerial view marking the affected parts of the corridor:
