I‐285 East Express Lanes Enters RFP Phase

The next round of competition for Atlanta’s massive top end express lanes network has entered the proposal phase. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) shortlisted bid teams for the I-285 East Express Lanes procurement in late February.

The I-285 East Express Lanes project was expected to draw heavy competition from investors, and GDOT’s shortlist is a long one. Four separate proposal teams will advance to proposals, and they count among them most of the largest players in the global P3 industry.

The I-285 East project is the second of three revenue-risk express lane procurements that will, in their entirety, add two barrier-separated express lanes on the northern half of the I-285 Atlanta Perimeter and on SR-400 extending north of the city. A preferred proposal was selected for the SR-400 Express Lanes P3 last August. The third and final procurement for the I-285 West Express Lanes project is scheduled to begin later this year.
