Master Your Gwinnett Commute
Navigating Gwinnett County’s primary arteries—I-85, GA-316, and I-985—can be the most stressful part of your day. Whether you’re heading toward Midtown Atlanta or commuting through Buford and Suwanee, staying ahead of the “Gwinnett crawl” is essential for your schedule and your sanity.
01. Know the Trends
Our tracker uses time-aware simulation logic to predict congestion. In Gwinnett, I-85 Southbound typically peaks between 6:30 AM and 9:00 AM, while GA-316 and the I-985 split experience heavy delays during the evening rush.
02. Use the Pulse
Check the “Live Traffic Pulse” dots on our interactive map. Red circles indicate critical bottlenecks—often found at the 85/316 interchange and the I-985 Buford exit—where delays typically exceed 15 minutes.
Commuter Pro Tip
If I-985 is showing red near Buford Drive, consider using Hwy 23 (Buford Hwy) or Peachtree Industrial Blvd to bypass the main split congestion.
