The Cobb Cloverleaf is the name given to the interchange between Interstate 75 (unsigned Georgia State Route 401), Interstate 285 (unsigned Georgia State Route 407), U.S. Route 41 and Georgia State Route 3 in Cobb County, Georgia, northwest of Atlanta. Despite the name, the interchange has only two cloverleaf-style ramps. The Georgia DOT has posted signage on I-75 referring to the interchange as the Kennedy Interchange.

Description

Signage on I-75 southbound directs traffic onto I-285 westbound toward Birmingham and Tampa. Overhead signage also indicates that the I-285 exit to/from U.S. 41 and Ga. 3 (Cobb Parkway) and the I-75 exits to/from Cumberland Boulevard and Windy Hill Road are also part of the overall Cobb Cloverleaf interchange.

The headquarters and studios of The Weather Channel are in an office building along the northeast corner of the interchange.

History

The original exit that was put in place when the Perimeter (I-285) was built was indeed a true cloverleaf interchange, but after much growth and construction, the present configuration has emerged. The existing exit configuration includes provisions for an as-yet unbuilt flyover ramp to replace a cloverleaf ramp from northbound I-75 to westbound I-285; a portion of the unbuilt ramp exists as a ramp stub.
