Old Ellis Extension Project Open House On Oct. 25

ROSWELL, GA — The city of Roswell will host a public information open house about the Old Ellis Extension project on Thursday, Oct. 25. The open house will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Sanctuary Park in Alpharetta.

This project is currently in the design phase, with construction estimated to begin in about 2 to 3 years. Plans call for extending Old Ellis Road from its current western terminus to intersect with the recently constructed Sun Valley Drive Phase 1 project. It will include improvements along existing Old Ellis Road, a roundabout at the intersection of the Old Ellis Road Extension and Sun Valley Drive, and a bridge over Foe Killer Creek.

The project will be approximately 1.1 miles in length and include 11-foot travel lanes, a 12-foot center turn lane from just east of Foe Killer Creek to the intersection of Old Ellis Road and Old Roswell Road, 4-foot bike lanes, curb and gutter, a 5-foot sidewalk, and a 10-foot shared-use path.

The design for this project has been funded in partnership with the North Fulton Community Improvement District (CID). There are currently no funds identified for right-of-way acquisition or construction.
