The Northwest Corridor HOV/BRT is a Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) plan to put HOV lanes and bus rapid transit along Interstate 75 and Interstate 575 in the northwestern suburbs of metro Atlanta. It would carry commuters between Atlanta and Cobb County, and beyond in Cherokee County, Georgia by adding two lanes for high-occupancy vehicles along I-75, with one continuing up a dedicated HOV exit onto I-575 to Sixes Road (mile 11, former exit 6), and the other straight on I-75 to Wade Green Road (mile 273, former exit 118). North of the highway interchange where they split, the new lanes would be put in the road median, between the existing northbound and southbound traffic. From the Perimeter (Interstate 285 on the northside) to I-575, the road has already been built with 12 to 16 lanes, which will require other solutions, including possibly via eminent domain.
