🌱 Rogers Bridge Update + YiFan Kitchen Opens + Bingo At Culver's

Hey, neighbors! It's me again, Dan Casarella, your host of the Johns Creek Daily.

First, today's weather:

An afternoon thunderstorm. High: 82 Low: 59.

Here are the top three stories in Johns Creek today:

1. The City of Johns Creek Government shared an update on the Rogers Bridge replacement project. The original bridge structure, which has now been disassembled and removed, will be replaced with a new pedestrian bridge connecting across the Chattahoochee River to the Duluth/Gwinnett County area. New bridge parts have recently started coming in, with crews continuing to work onsite to assemble the bridge. Click here for more information on the project.

2. YiFan Kitchen, the catering arm of local business YiFan's Catering & Cooking School, recently opened in Johns Creek. The catering business is located at 11455 Lakefield Drive, Suite 500, near the intersection of Lakefield Drive and Johns Creek Parkway. Mayor John Bradberry and the Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce welcomed YiFan Kitchen to the city on Thursday. (City of Johns Creek, Georgia - Government Facebook)
