Little Willeo Road Sidewalks Construction

• Karls Gate Drive to Lake Fjord Pass – Monday through Friday: Expect intermittent lane closures from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with one lane remaining open while the contractor continues water main installation. Utility relocation should not affect your service.

Paper Mill Road Bridge Replacement

Beginning Tuesday, May 28, Cobb County Department Of Transportation will begin work on replacing the bridge over Sope Creek on Paper Mill Road. The new bridge will include a six foot sidewalk on the south side, providing access to the National Park Service trails. This project will result in closing Paper Mill Road at the bridge for approximately four months. Signed detour routes will be provided during construction. 

Johnson Ferry and Riverside Drive - GDOT

The Johnson Ferry—Abernathy project developed through collaboration between the Georgia Department of Transportation, the City of Sandy Springs and Cobb County is nearing completion. As a result east Cobb commuters have experienced significant improvements along the corridor including reduced delays and improved traffic safety. 
  
As a part of the road improvement project, an additional operational change took effect Friday, May 3, at the intersection of Johnson Ferry Road and Riverside Drive. Sandy Springs changed the operation at the light to NO RIGHT TURN ON RED onto Riverside Drive from Johnson Ferry Road southbound. The change, required by the City of Sandy Springs, will eliminate potential conflicts between the right turning traffic from Johnson Ferry Road and the westbound through traffic on Riverside Drive, and it will create gaps in Riverside Drive traffic for vehicles accessing Riverside Drive between Johnson Ferry Rd and I-285. 

If you have any questions regarding this project please contact the City of Sandy Springs at 770-730-5600.
