Things to Know as Ga. 400 Toll Plaza Comes Down

Provided by the State Road and Tollway Authority

Slow Down and Stay Alert – The Toll Plaza is now an active construction zone, with a 45 mph speed limit. For the safety of motorists and construction workers, please use caution when driving through the Toll Plaza as the GA 400 Tollway Demolition Project continues.

Keep Your Peach Pass – Your Peach Pass account stays active, and is only charged when you use it. So even though the Ga. 400 tolls are ending, be sure to keep your Peach Pass for use when you need to bypass traffic using the existing I-85 Express Lanes, or the planned I-75 Express Lanes south of Atlanta (coming in 2016); and I-75/575 Express Lanes in the Northwest Corridor (coming in 2018). However, if you do decide to close your account, your full balance, including any automatic replenishments, will be refunded.

Ga. 400 Road Race on Nov. 17 – The Georgia State Games will conduct a four-mile road race celebrating the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Ga. 400 Extension and the ending of tolls on the roadway on Nov. 22.  

The race starts at 8:30 a.m. at Glenridge Drive running straight down Ga. 400 through the Toll Plaza and finishing at Phipps Plaza on Lenox Road. Runners and walkers will pay their 50-cent toll as they pass through the toll lanes, with the proceeds donated to benefit the Strong4Life Foundation.  Pre-registration is required.  For more information or to register for the race, go to www.georgiagames.org/GA400.
