Intersection improvements underway in Johns Creek

Johns Creek officials are moving ahead on plans to improve traffic flow from westbound State Bridge Road onto Medlock Bridge Road heading north and south.

Construction crews are extending the right-turn lane on State Bridge by a quarter-mile by removing island barriers between the Whole Foods store near the intersection and Medlock Bridge.

One striped island at Camden Way diverts traffic right toward apartment complexes and Riverwalk Marketplace. A concrete island farther west directs traffic into Medlock Corners, anchored by a Publix. The city will also extend a left turn lane from westbound State Bridge Road onto southbound Medlock Bridge.
