The Alpharetta City Council has approved a $583,508 proposal from engineering consultant Pond & Co. to design Webb Bridge Road improvements.

The council also approved spending $109,000 to have another consultant, Atkins, provide project management services for the 0.9 miles of Webb Bridge, from east of North Point Parkway to the Big Creek Greenway culvert.

The project scope includes a new, two-lane highway bridge over Big Creek, south of the existing vehicular and pedestrian bridges, requiring a realigned roadway; and a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail with a six-foot-wide planting strip, staff said in a report to the council.

The Greenway between its culvert under Webb Bridge and Big Creek will be demolished and re-constructed. Trees and pedestrian lighting will be provided, and the existing streetscape in front of the Eastgate subdivision is to be preserved.
