The Georgia Department of Transportation has kicked-off its 3-year Alpharetta Highway/Ga. 9 Improvement Project.

When completed, the roadway will feature two travel lanes in each direction, raised center medians, center turn lanes at key locations, signal upgrades, a multi-use path, on-street parking, brick pavers sidewalk, ornament landscape trees, pedestrian lighting, and other improvements along the length of the road from Upper Hembree Road to Windward Parkway.
