Bridge work nears completion on Roswell Road

Tens of thousands of north metro drivers can celebrate Tuesday when the Georgia DOT officially completes work on the bridge at Roswell Road and I-285 in Sandy Springs. State and local officials will be on hand at 10 a.m. for the dedication.

The $3.57 million project is designed to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety by widening the existing bridge from five lanes to six. The bridge will now provide dedicated left-turn lanes to the I-285 entrance ramps in both directions along Roswell Road. The previous design allowed a single turn lane in the center.
