In the face of a building binge that will bring thousands of new workers and residents to Dunwoody, the city is pitching a new road to connect office parks and other projects to I-285.
The proposed Westside Connector would relieve congestion at the new diverging diamond interchange at Ashford Dunwoody Road and along Hammond Drive, city leaders say. The road would take westbound motorists from I-285 under Ashford Dunwoody to Perimeter Center Parkway near State Farm’s new corporate campus. The road would also feature an eastbound lane that will provide motorists another option to connect to westbound I-285.
Planners also envision a 12-foot-wide paved trail to provide pedestrian access to the Dunwoody MARTA station from nearby office parks.
