The $47 million project expanding Ga. 400 in Forsyth County has hit another benchmark. Georgia Department of Transportation road crews removed construction barriers from an additional 1.8 miles of roadway northbound between mile markers 31 and 33. Roadwork is still going on from north of the Bald Ridge Marina Road overpass to the northern end of the project.

By late May or early June all construction will have wrapped up widening the road to three lanes northbound from the McFarland Parkway interchange to Ga. 369/Browns Bridge Road, said Forsyth County spokeswoman Sarah Dunlap. Crews will start on widening the southbound side at about the same time.

State officials have said the entire project including bridge expansion will wrap up by April 2018.
