The Cobb Cloverleaf is the name given to the intersection of Interstate 75 (unsigned Georgia 401}, Interstate 285 {unsigned Georgia 407}, U.S. Route 41 and Georgia State Route 3 northwest Atlanta, Georgia in Cobb County. Despite the name, the interchange has only two cloverleaf-style ramps (see Road junctions). The Georgia DOT has posted signage on I-75 referring to the interchange as the Kennedy Interchange.
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 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 that as-yet unbuilt exists as a ramp stub.
The home offices and studios of The Weather Channel are in an office building along the northeast corner of the interchange.
