Groundbreaking Ceremony for the SR400

ACS Group companies, ACS Infra (IRIDIUM) and FlatironDragados, joined the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), the Georgia State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA), other project partners and key stakeholders to break ground on the SR 400 Express Lanes project.

Delivered under the SR 400 Peach Partners consortium, the 16-mile (25.75-kilometer) managed lanes public-private partnership (P3) will expand capacity along SR 400 from the North Springs Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) Station in Fulton County to McFarland Parkway in Forsyth County, improving travel reliability, enhancing safety, and supporting continued economic growth in metro Atlanta.

With a total investment of approximately $10.99 billion and a concession term exceeding 55 years, including a 5.5-year construction period and 50 years of toll operations, the SR 400 Express Lanes project will feature dynamically priced express lanes in each direction, giving drivers a reliable travel-time option while maintaining free access to existing general-purpose lanes. The project will further enhance connections with the SR 400/I-285 interchange, new bridges, and corridor-wide technology systems designed to optimize traffic flow and improve safety. While enhancing travel reliability for drivers, the project will also support existing MARTA connections and future bus rapid transit improvements along the corridor.
