A link to that article would've been nice.

Contractor on the westside 20-285 interchange project already has 3 piers out of the ground and one of them has the pier cap formed up.  Making good progress on what looks to be the 20W to 285S movement.

The infuriatingly stupid recently-replaced signs along the GA 141 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard freeway have been addressed if not fully corrected. The biggest issue with them was the inexplicable addition of the mainline route number-- GA 141-- on most of the offramp signage, as shown here. In that particular location, the EXIT ONLY arrow is also wrong, but they neglected to correct it while they were up there greening over the 141 NORTH. At this one, the 141 NORTH was also greened out, but EXIT wasn't added to the distance legend and the erroneous GA 140 NORTH wasn't corrected (in fact, GA 140 is an east-west route which extends in both directions from the interchange and thus shouldn't have a cardinal direction at all). And the embarrassingly bad signage at the 141-Peachtree Boulevard split wasn't addressed at all.

In addition, the beloved but tragically deteriorated all-caps button copy signage on the frontage roads has finally been replaced. The new stuff looks slightly crappy, but it's still a huge improvement. That said, the replacement for this one and its counterpart downstream don't have the black-on-yellow EXIT ONLY plaques they should. It's just one damned thing after another.

Sorry-not-sorry for the double post: Also on Peachtree Industrial in Gwinnett, a third northbound lane has been added on the right and is nearly ready to open. It extends from the north side of the Holcomb Bridge Road intersection to Medlock Bridge Road, which isn't a very good place to end it. Also, the obvious place to start the new lane would've been here, where the onramp from the 141 frontage road dumps onto PIB. Still, it should do a lot to address that bottleneck.

I drive that stretch on a very regular basis and completely agree that I am baffled that they didn't start the third lane at the merge of the entrance from Jimmy Carter Blvd. I wonder if there are plans to extend the third lane further, at least to Old Peachtree Rd, but ultimately to Pleasant Hill Rd. Further to that, they have been replacing several traffic signal installations. Curious how they aren't at least resurfacing the southbound lanes, as only at the intersections they are being resurfaced. I also wonder if there are plans to add a third lane in that direction, though probably not as badly needed as northbound. The project has been going at a very slow pace, but I am glad it seems to nearly be done. That third lane will help either way.
