  • Intersections include:
    • Medlock Bridge Road at Abbotts Bridge Road / State Route 120
    • Medlock Bridge Road at Bell Road
    • Medlock Bridge Road at Johns Creek Parkway (including sidewalk from Bell Road to Johns Creek Parkway)

Where:	Medlock Bridge Rd at Abbotts Bridge Rd (SR 120)
Why:	Faster travel, less congestion
Who:	City of Johns Creek
When:	Engineering in 2021, Right-of-Way and Construction in 2022

   

Current Issues:

• Traffic congestion along Medlock Bridge Road.
• Critical intersection for the commercial centers along Abbotts Bridge Road and the nearby high school.
• Second most-heavily trafficked intersection along the Medlock Bridge corridor (second to the State Bridge Road/Medlock Bridge Road intersection).

Proposed Solution:

• Add capacity to the intersection by restriping Medlock Bridge to add a third through lane in both the northbound and southbound directions, allowing more cars to cross Abbotts Bridge in each light cycle.
• Improvements are planned eastbound and westbound on Abbotts Bridge as part of GDOT's on-going Abbotts Bridge project (presently in the right-of-way stage).
• Project cost: $3.3 million (2021 estimate).
