Summary

On August 5, 2025, KeyBanc Capital Markets successfully closed the financing of one of the largest transportation public-private partnerships (P3s) in U.S. history.

The re-procurement of the SR-400 Express Lanes project includes the development of approximately 71 additional lane miles through two managed lanes in each direction from I-285 to McGinnis Ferry Road, north of Atlanta, as well as one buffer-separated express lane in each direction from McGinnis Ferry Road to McFarland Parkway. The State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) will enter into the project agreement with the developer, with GDOT acting as SRTA’s agent.
