The $710 million project would involve reconstruction of the I-285 / 400 interchange as well as the addition of collector-distributor lanes. It could be open to traffic by December 2019.
Residents of the Georgetown Community have been requesting Sound Barriers between them and 285 for awhile and I would expect that they will be requesting this during public comment meetings listed below. With the larger traffic volumes at higher speeds making more noise, you would think the addition of sound barriers abutting Georgetown could be accommodated.

Below is a preliminary public notice found regarding the meetings but I could not find the same notice on the State DOT site, nor the plans as stated. After reaching out to Arcadis they stated the preliminary plans would be uploaded to this site on or about August 15th.
