Atlanta

In regard to the GA 407 LOOP posting I saw during the Atlanta Meet, that seems to be rogue signage, the Georgia DOT local map I found does not show a GA 407 LOOP here (see Page 2) so I am sure it is long gone.

It's the hidden State Route number for I-285.  All the Interstates in GA have them in the 4XX range, you just don't normally see them mentioned in the field.

Technically only 407 is I-285. 407 Loop is a different state route that intersects 407 (I-285) at some point.

No news is news: The 285-400 interchange isn't finished, but construction has all but stopped. I go through there on my morning commute now (I often take a different route home) and the only work I see is on the approach slabs for the last bridge, on the ramp from WB 285 to SB 400, there are barrels lying around, most of the asphalt paving still needs its top coat, and there are at least seven signage gantries with no signage installed despite the signage having been delivered months ago. WTF, GDOT?

Also, the contractor has installed this sign in the wrong place. It belongs on a new gantry that's been erected on the far side of the bridge ahead. At this point, it'd probably be easier to fix both signs with overlays than to move this one. anyway, I notified my contact at GDOT, so hopefully they'll avert the obvious followup screwup.
