Jones Bridge Road Widening (Waters Road to State Bridge Road)
Project Completed (August 2025)
The Jones Bridge Road widening project is complete! New trees and landscape plants will be added separately in phases starting in October.
Mayor John Bradberry, Mayor Pro Tem Dilip Tunki, Rep. Scott Hilton, Fulton County School Board Member Kristin McCabe, Fulton County Schools Area Superintendent Brian Downey, Dolvin Elementary School Principal Andy Stein, a group of Dolvin students, and City staff gathered to mark the project’s completion.
The project, from Waters Road to State Bridge Road, adds deceleration lanes into neighborhoods and improves egress from neighborhoods where appropriate. Some areas along the roadway were repurposed into bike lanes.
The project also provides longer carpool queuing lines and school bus lines at Dolvin Elementary which removes more of the school traffic from the main travel lanes thus decreasing congestion.
It also addresses pedestrian safety and access with a sidewalk on one side of the road and a wider trail on the other side of the road.
The project has a few punch-list and clean-up items, including the sound abatement fencing, remaining to be completed by the end of September.
Buice Road Bridge Replacement
Latest update (Aug. 22, 2025)
Clearing has been completed and some utilities have been relocated. Crews are working on bringing the road up to grade in preparation for the bridge construction and the relocation of utility poles. Buice Road will be closed at the bridge over Johns Creek later this year for approximately four months while crews replace the bridge. We will share the road closure timing, detour information, and project details in the coming weeks.
Construction is anticipated to be completed in summer 2026.
Jones Bridge Road at Douglas and Sargent roads
Latest update (Sept. 5, 2025)
Sections of the trail and curb and gutter have been installed along Jones Bridge Road. Storm drain installation continues at Jones Bridge Road at Douglas Road.
This project is taking longer than expected due to challenging utility pole relocations between Sargent and Douglas roads. The largest pole is scheduled to be relocated in the next two weeks, which will allow for several key construction elements to proceed.
What’s Upcoming:
Crews continue pouring concrete for curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Jones Bridge Road. Utility relocation continues and fiber relocation is planned in the next few weeks.
Construction is expected to be completed later this year.
Abbotts Bridge Road improvements (Parsons Road to Medlock Bridge Road)
Latest Update (Aug. 8, 2025)
Crews paved the road from Abbotts Hill Elementary to the bridge over Johns Creek as part of the road widening project. The bridge deck was poured with concrete last week.
Water main lines and retaining walls continue to be installed along the project route. The large hill has been cut back and crews will begin building the footer for the retaining wall at the bottom of the hill.
Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2027.
Medlock Bridge Road Pedestrian Crossing and Tunnel
Latest Update (July 18, 2025)
Utility relocation is underway and is expected to be completed this spring.
The Medlock Bridge Road northbound and southbound lanes will shift toward the center median area from Johns Creek Parkway to East Johns Crossing beginning Monday, March 17 to prepare for the tunnel construction under the roadway. The speed limit will be reduced in the area from 45 mph to 35 mph. Motorists are advised to use caution in the area.
Construction is expected to be completed in fall 2025.
Rogers Bridge Road Trail & Bell Road Trail
Project Completed: September 2025
Another trail connection has been completed in Johns Creek, making it easier for pedestrians to easily access nearby schools and Cauley Creek Park.
The project included the installation of multi-use trails along the east side of Rogers Bridge Road from Bell Road to Amberleigh Way and along Bell Road from Cauley Creek Park to Rogers Bridge Road.
Another project component was the realignment of the intersection of Rogers Bridge Road and Bell Road. It was lowered about five feet to improve sight distance for drivers turning onto Bell Road and increase overall driver and pedestrian safety.
Buice Road Trail (Spruill Road to Haverhill Lane)
Project Completed: July 2025
The Buice Road Trail project is officially complete, marking a significant step in strengthening neighborhood connectivity and enhancing pedestrian safety in our community.
The project, which included a 10-foot multi-use trail along the south side of Buice Road, fills one of the remaining gaps along the road to complete a pedestrian corridor from Old Alabama Road to Jones Bridge Road.
Town Center Stream Restoration & Multi-Use Trail
Project Completed: April 2025
The Town Center Stream Restoration & Trail project is now complete, following a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by City Council member Larry DiBiase, City staff, and project contractors.
The project restored more than 1,500 linear feet of eroded streambank and added a multi-use, 10-foot wide ADA-compliant trail connecting McGinnis Ferry Road to The Boardwalk at Town Center, the new park currently under construction adjacent to City Hall.
This addressed severe bank erosion, which contributed to heavy sediment loads to the entire Johns Creek watershed (including neighborhoods downstream of the Town Center area).
The project’s unique features include a combination of stormwater management techniques such as bioswales, regenerative stormwater conveyance structures, vegetated soil lifts, step pools, and other bioengineering practices. These elements not only improve the environmental health of the stream but also reduce pollutants downstream.
Sargent Road at Ashwick Place Roundabout
Project Completed: October 2024
The Sargent Road at Ashwick Place roundabout project is now complete. City Council member Larry DiBiase and City staff marked the project’s completion with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday.
The project, which addressed safety concerns at the intersection of Sargent Road and Ashwick Place, included the installation of a roundabout and pedestrian improvements including crosswalks.
