Interstate 85 project has gotten area residents attention
1212INTERSTATE
The Georgia Department of Transportation got feedback last week from residents about a planned widening of Interstate 85 skirting Hall County.
With her commute to Buckhead, Hoschton resident Juanita Brandon is interested particularly in toll lanes along Interstate 85. “Traffic has gotten worse, with more people moving farther out,” Brandon said last week during one of two public information meetings on the Georgia Department of Transportation’s planned I-85 widening. A Peach Pass lane extension is under construction up to Hamilton Mill Road, and a striped buffer lane between those lanes and the general-purpose lanes will become a general-purpose lane north of Hamilton Mill.
