The interchange project includes four miles of improvements on I-285, fives miles of improvements on SR 400, new flyovers, new connections, a bridge replacement, and several other features. The $800 million design-build (D/B) and finance contract was awarded to North Premier Contractors. Completion of the project is expected in 2020.

As part of the funding plan for the Interstate 285 and State Route 400 project in Georgia, Bank of America has provided a tax exempt loan for up to $458 million, and is the first time this type of funding approach has been used for a public-private partnership (P3) contract. In December 2015 the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) awarded a P3 contract to North Perimeter Contractors, a collaboration of Ferrovial Agroman, Louis Berger Group and Neel-Shaffer, for the design and construction of new flyover ramps, collector-distributor lanes, and other elements on Interstate 285 and State Route 400.
