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.
