I-285/PIB Interchange Improvement Project

The Georgia Department of Transportation is beginning construction of the I-285/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard (PIB) Interchange Improvement Project (PI #0017126), one of the Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) projects. The design-build project will combine the I-285 westbound exit ramps to PIB north and south while adjusting the horizontal curve of the north exit ramp to reduce the bottleneck from I-285.

Initial activities include mobilizing construction teams, temporary barrier installation and utility relocations. Motorists should expect minor traffic modifications along I-285 and the PIB northbound ramp.

The project is one of the MMIP’s I-285 Advanced Improvement Projects which provide local road improvements to general-purpose lanes earlier and will mitigate traffic challenges during the construction of the future major express lane projects.

“I-285/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard Interchange Improvement Project is providing early operational improvements and supporting better traffic flow once completed,” said Georgia DOT Project Manager Rick O’Hara. “Construction commencing on this project allows the Department to continue to advance the very important MMIP projects that enhance safety, provide transportation improvements and efficiencies and provide more regional connectivity.”

Delivering the project through design-build accelerates the project schedule by overlapping the design and construction phases and benefits the public by reducing construction times, mitigating traffic impacts and maximizing the use of resources and project budget.

The City of Peachtree Corners Department of Public Works will be instituting a temporary emergency closure of Corley Road.

This closure is necessary to allow crews to repair underground stormwater infrastructure near 6458 Corley Road.

The work will require Corley Road to be closed at this location beginning September 7 and lasting for an estimated 12-14 days. Access to the area businesses will be limited but not restricted, and detours will be required.

There is an abandoned railroad crossing located at this address. For locations to the east, access can be made from Jimmy Carter Boulevard, State Route 140. For all properties west of this address, and at the rail crossing, access can be made from Jones Mill Road to Mechanicsville Road to Corley Road.

Peachtree Corners Enlists IMS to Conduct Pavement Survey

Residents of Peachtree Corners will soon have an objective assessment of the town’s pavement. Using funds dedicated to infrastructure management, the City has contracted with Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) to conduct the pavement survey.

The company has over 30 years of experience in the field of pavement management and has helped municipalities throughout the United States and Canada. IMS will be responsible for completing an objective pavement condition survey as well as a budget and rehabilitation analysis.

IMS survey vehicles hit the streets in early October using their Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS-2). The LCMS-2 is a 3D imaging sensor that collects continuous 3D pavement imagery along with rutting and roughness measurements.

How it works

The LCMS-2 will determine surface distresses including load cracking, block cracking, rutting, raveling, reflective cracking, loss of section, bleeding, edge distress and patched areas. Information will be collected on a segment-by-segment basis. The collected data and imagery will be linked to the City’s existing GIS data system.

Once the data has been collected, the City will create a work program using a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) that will rate road segments between poor and excellent. The City will then use the PCI rankings to create an infrastructure work plan based on actual road conditions.

This data-based planning will allow Peachtree Corners to provide more efficient and equitable repairs and maximize the City’s repair budget.
