Getting Around Marietta: Interstates, Express Lanes and Transit

Commute is near the top of every buyer's list. Here's what Marietta offers for getting into Atlanta and around the northwest suburbs.

I-75. The interstate runs along the city's eastern side, with exits at 261, 263, 265 and 267. U.S. 41 and State Route 3 also cross the city.

Northwest Corridor Express Lanes. Opened on September 8, 2018, these are 29.7 miles of reversible toll lanes on I-75 from Akers Mill Road to Hickory Grove Road, and on I-575 up to Sixes Road. The $834 million project runs southbound in the morning and northbound in the evening.

• You need a registered Peach Pass to use them.
• Tolls rise with demand at peak times and drop off-peak.
• Transit riders and registered vanpools ride toll-free.
• Access points near Marietta include Roswell Road and Terrell Mill Road.

Transit. CobbLinc, Cobb County's bus system, runs local routes from the Marietta Transfer Center, and its express routes connect to MARTA at Midtown's Arts Center station.

Take it from Mary: where a home sits relative to an express lane on-ramp can matter as much as the mileage. When you're touring, I'm happy to time the drive to your office at rush hour.
