    I'm glad they finally got that taken care of, but I know there's still a little ways to go...... IIRC the same company is redoing the Pleasant Hill/Buford Hwy intersection..... but the 316 design was crazy to begin with..... why you would empty a state highway into the hammer lane of the interstate is just beyond me...... but hopefully this redesign will help traffic out a bit.....

    They finally ed opened up a third lane till the Mall of Georgia exit on the northbound. Once you reach the exit the lane becomes exit only. Traffic on 85 north sucks. I hope this helps out a lot.

    Wait wait wait.... they've opened up the 316 joining onto the 85 properly now?? Does this include the Southbound side too? I avoid driving that route to Atlanta specifically due to the bottleneck merging with the 85.

    now all they need to do is get the timing of the surface street traffic lights to be less retarded and it'll be all good.
