Accura is providing geotechnical design support services to AECOM for this Georgia DOT MMIP project. State Route 400 (SR 400) is a vital north-south transportation corridor in metro Atlanta that connects people, jobs, and freight. To improve mobility, Georgia DOT plans to add new, optional express lanes from the North Springs MARTA Station to McFarland Parkway. The project will add:
2 buffer-separated express lanes in each direction between the North Springs MARTA Station and McGinnis Ferry Road
One buffer-separated exprers lane in each direction from McGinnis Ferry Road to McFarland Parkway

Our Role in the Mission
Accura played a key role in wetlands delineation, permitting, and environmental surveys to facilitate the repair and expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure. Our comprehensive approach included:
Conducting on-site investigations to assess environmental impact.
Preparing detailed permit applications for:
Stream stabilization/restoration across three critical water bodies&
The repair, replacement, and construction of new water and wastewater pipelines, including stream and wetland crossings.
Surveying threatened and endangered species, including the rare small whorled pogonia and wood turtle.
Modifying existing permits to meet updated compliance needs.
Challenges We Overcame
Working across the dynamic landscape of Fort Belvoir required:
Conducting compliance inspections under stringent environmental regulations.
Balancing infrastructure needs with environmental preservation.
Addressing multiple stream and wetland impacts (4-5 in total).
The Impact
Our work not only ensured compliance but also played a part in protecting the delicate ecosystem of Fort Belvoir. From securing permits to restoring streams, we enabled the U.S. Army to move forward with confidence, knowing their construction efforts align with their commitment to environmental stewardship.
