Lane Closures On Ga. 9 This Saturday

ALPHARETTA, GA — Georgia Department of Transportation contractors will install daytime lane closures on Ga. 9 in Alpharetta this weekend as crews continue a project to widen and reconstruct the roadway between Upper Hembree Road and Windward Parkway, a distance of 3.6 miles.

Weather and on-site conditions permitting, one right lane will be closed on Ga. 9 northbound and one right lane southbound from Upper Hembree Road to Willis Road from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25.

These closures will help ensure the safety of drivers and workers as crews continue clearing vegetation along the roadway in preparation for the reconstruction project.

When complete, the Ga. 9 Widening and Improvements Project will create two lanes in each direction, a raised median, additional turn lanes at key intersections, traffic and pedestrian signal upgrades, a multi-use trail, a bicycle lane, on-street parking, lighting and landscaping. The project is scheduled for completion in spring 2024.

Motorists are cautioned to reduce their speed while traveling through work zones, pay attention and watch for workers.
