Alpharetta begins City Center road project

Alpharetta has begun work to relocate Haynes Bridge Road, the first step in its Downtown City Center revitalization project.

The city awarded a $2.29 million contract to C.W. Mathews Contracting earlier this month to shift the roadway to the east beginning just north of Old Milton Parkway. The project includes a traffic circle near Thompson Street and parallel parking along the north side. Shifting the roadway will unify the 24-acre site the city plans to use for a new city hall, a parking deck, a park, greenspace and the  new Fulton County Library that will begin construction next year.
