As part of its continuing widening of Old Alabama Road in Johns Creek, the Georgia Department of Transportation will shift traffic to newly paved lanes starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday, weather permitting.
Eastbound traffic will shift to the new lanes, while westbound traffic will remain in its current single-lane configuration, according to GDOT. The current eastbound lanes will be closed so that contractors can build a median and move to the third phase of construction.
Old Alabama is being widened from three to four lanes, separated by a 20-foot median, from Buice to Medlock Bridge roads. A 5-foot-wide sidewalk will be constructed next to the eastbound lanes; a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail, next to the westbound lanes; and a new left-turn lane, from Medlock Bridge to Old Alabama.
The project is to be completed this fall.
