(Video courtesy of the Georgia Department of Transportation) CUMMING -- Wednesday was a busy day for drivers, which should hopefully lead to less traffic in the area. On Wednesday, the first section of a new lane on Ga. 400 northbound opened and locals were updated on local and state traffic projects at the annual Transportation Summit. That morning, local and state officials were on hand at the GRTA Park and Ride Lot for a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new lane, which runs about from McFarland Parkway (Exit 12) to just north of Hwy. 20 (Exit 14).
