Abbotts Bridge Road improvements (Parsons Road to Medlock Bridge Road)
Latest Update (April 3, 2026)
Crews continue asphalt leveling from Medlock Bridge Road to the bridge over Johns Creek. Crews anticipate paving near Abbotts Station Drive next week and are also preparing to work on the second span of the bridge.
Crews continue to pour concrete throughout the project, as they continue to construct sidewalk, curb and gutter, along with catch basin throats and tops. Construction of the retaining wall at the curve has been completed.
The project includes the addition of turn lanes, medians, sidewalks, and bike lanes (matching the section of Abbotts Bridge Road between Jones Bridge Road and Parsons Road). The additional turn lanes provide a safe ingress/egress from neighborhoods and aids in traffic flow for motorists. The project also addresses existing substandard horizontal and vertical roadway curves, such as the major curve near the Abbotts Run neighborhood.
Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2027.
Barnwell Road Corridor Improvements
Latest Update: March 27, 2026
Crews have completed clearing along the corridor and installed erosion and sediment control measures. Once these are inspected and approved, crews will receive clearance to begin earthwork. Utility coordination will begin following site clearing, with utility schedules expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.
Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2027.
Buice Road Bridge Replacement
Latest update (March 27, 2026)
Construction on the Buice Road Bridge project has actively started, with the full detour now in place and the roadway closed to through traffic. Grading activities have begun, and significant preparation work has been completed. Guardrails on the bridge have been removed, along with the gas line previously attached to the structure. Utility coordination is advancing and heavy equipment, including a crane and additional machinery, has been placed on site and is currently staged support ongoing construction operations. With the roadway closure in place, water line installation within the roadway is set to begin. Bridge demolition activities have started, with full structural demolition expected to begin next week.
Construction is anticipated to be completed in summer 2026.
Johns Creek Parkway
Latest Update: March 27, 2026
Crews have completed fire hydrant relocations and sod has been installed in the median between the new curb and gutter along the 10-foot-wide multi-use trail. Construction is moving forward at the intersection of East Johns Crossing and Johns Creek Parkway. Crews will soon begin building a raised concrete intersection to improve the area. In April, weather permitting, crews will install paver borders and put up the high-mast signal arms. As part of this work, East Johns Crossing at Johns Creek Parkway will be closed to turning traffic for approximately 3 weeks so crews can safely complete the intersection improvements. In addition, the Lifetime Fitness driveway access from Johns Creek Parkway will temporarily close again during asphalt paving operations.
Construction is expected to be completed in the summer.
Jones Bridge Road at Douglas and Sargent roads
Latest update (March 27, 2026)
Crews continue to work on the concrete medians and the turning radius at the intersection of Jones Bridge Road and Douglas Road as they prepare for upcoming asphalt work. Signal work is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
Construction is expected to be completed in summer 2026.
McGinnis Ferry Road widening
Latest Update: March 27, 2026
Utility improvements along the eastern segment are now in their final stages. Waterline installation has been completed, and crews are currently conducting testing and preparing for final tie-ins, which are expected soon. On the western side of the corridor, construction activity has intensified. Crews have made steady progress on storm line installation and ongoing utility work, while also beginning early coordination and prep for upcoming fiber installation. Looking ahead, the project is transitioning into its next major phase. Crews are gearing up for storm drain crossings, along with expanded gas and fiber work, with visible activity expected to ramp up in the coming weeks.
Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2028.
Medlock Bridge Road Pedestrian Crossing and Tunnel
Latest Update (Jan. 15, 2026)
Crews have completed backfilling around the tunnel, finished grading around the walls, and poured asphalt on the roadway on the eastern side of the tunnel.
What’s Upcoming: The Medlock Bridge Road northbound and southbound lanes will shift toward the east side of Medlock Bridge Road from Johns Creek Parkway to East Johns Crossing beginning the week of Jan. 19 to prepare for work on the western side of the pedestrian crossing and tunnel under the roadway. The speed limit is reduced in the area from 45 mph to 35 mph. Motorists are advised to use caution in the area.
Timeline:
Construction is expected to be completed in the spring.
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.
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 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.
