Alpharetta commits funding to road project

Alpharetta officials have agreed to apply for a $218,000 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant from the Georgia DOT to help fund intersection improvements at Ga. 400 at Old Milton Parkway and Morris Road.

The project, estimated at $1.9 million, will add turn lanes to the northbound exit. The grant money will be rolled into succeeding years' grants until the project can be fully funded with a 10 percent local match, city officials said.
