SANDY SPRINGS, GA — The Georgia Department of Transportation wants to hear from you about its communication methods related to the massive reconstruction of the Georgia 400-Interstate 285 interchange in Sandy Springs.

Residents and stakeholders are invited to take the survey posted on the Georgia DOT website. The survey is designed to help the team better "understand how messaging, frequency, and overall engagement is perceived within the community and by the stakeholders impacted by the project," the site states.
