Roswell city officials said a large portion of Old Roswell Road will be closed July 6-Aug. 6 as the roadway is reconstructed. The roadway will close between Old Ellis Road/Sanctuary Parkway and just south of Founders Parkway/Hembree Park Drive.

The project aims to improve travel conditions and drainage, as a new development is built adjacent to Old Roswell north of Ellis Road. A roundabout will also be built at the entrance to the new development.

City officials said the full shutdown, as opposed to single-lane closures, will mean the roadway reopens sooner. Detours will be in place. More information: www. roswellgov.com/conezone
