HNTB is providing program management consulting (PMC) services for the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) Public-Private Partnerships (P3) Division on major transportation projects in the region and across the state of Georgia to boost the state’s competitiveness.
Major Mobility Investment Program
Several of those projects include Georgia DOT’s Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP), which is an initiative aimed at reducing congestion and enhancing safety along Georgia's key freight and passenger corridors. Transportation projects under this program create additional capacity, improve freight movement, provide transportation upgrades, efficiencies and choices, enhance safety and decrease travel times for motorists and transit users. With a focus on innovation, Georgia DOT is utilizing alternative delivery contracts to advance these crucial projects, such as design-build, design-build-finance, design-build-finance-maintain and design-build-finance-operate-maintain.
Georgia’s MMIP includes:
- 3 major interchange reconstruction projects
- 4 major express lanes projects
- 3 major interstate widening projects
- 1 commercial vehicle lanes project
- 4 advanced improvement projects (bridge replacements, auxiliary lanes, interchange upgrade) for early delivery of MMIP project scope
HNTB is responsible for providing program management and construction management services, including:
- Providing oversight concept and environmental
- Supporting the development and execution of alternative delivery procurements
- Providing cost and schedule oversight
- Supporting communications and outreach
- Providing design and environmental oversight expertise
- Supporting post-let and construction administration
Working as an integrated part of the PMC team, HNTB’s Advisory Practice provides strategic planning, commercial structuring, market interaction and technical expertise for several of the large-scale alternative delivery projects being delivered through P3 — design, build, finance, operate, maintain (DBFOM) method.
HNTB aligns with Georgia DOT to support procurements including technical provisions and commercial terms alongside Georgia DOT’s P3 Division, legal and financial advisors. HNTB’s Advisory Practice also provides transaction leadership for Georgia DOT’s highest profile projects under the MMIP, including the client’s first revenue risk P3 project, the State Route (SR) 400 Express Lanes and the I-285 Express Lanes projects.
This project aims to enhance mobility along the SR 400 corridor by adding express lanes in each direction along a 16-mile section of roadway, between the North Springs MARTA Station and McFarland Parkway. These express lanes will be dynamically tolled, providing an additional mobility option for drivers who choose to pay to use them and free for transit vehicles operating in the corridor.

The proposed express lanes on I-285 would add two new, barrier-separated express lanes in both directions of I-285 from I-20 on the west side of Atlanta to I-20 on the east, as well as north on SR 400 to the North Springs MARTA Station. Environmental work is underway for the I-285 Express Lanes and Georgia DOT has advanced some bridge replacements on I-285 that provide benefits now and are necessary for the future express lanes. The procurement for the first phase of I-285 East Express Lanes started in September 2024.

This express lane project stretches approximately 30 miles from Akers Mill Road to Hickory Grove Road on I-75 and from I-75 to Sixes Road on I-575 in Cobb and Cherokee Counties. This predominantly elevated, barrier-separated system efficiently increased capacity using advanced technologies such as reversible managed lanes to manage traffic flow.

The project focuses on reconstructing and enhancing the I-16 at I-95 interchange and widening the I-16 corridor from I-95 to the I-516 interchange. The primary goals of the project are to ease congestion, decrease travel times and improve safety and operational efficiencies for both passenger and freight vehicles.
