Barnwell Road will remain accessible to residents who live along the road.

With limited room available to perform construction work, periodic lane closures along this road are required to install the pipe and conduit, the city said, which will create significant congestion.

Motorists are also advised that, for added safety, Barnwell Road has a temporary speed limit reduction to 35 mph in the construction zone through the end of the project.

The new reuse line, which is being installed in several locations throughout Johns Creek, will be used for irrigation for churches, golf courses and Cauley Creek park.
