Project Description
Johnson Ferry Road from the Chattahoochee River to Abernathy Road
Johnson Ferry will be widened from Columns Drive in Cobb County to Riverside Drive in Fulton County, including the bridge over the Chattahoochee, to accommodate six 12’ travel lanes, a 16’ raised median, 4’ bike lanes, 2’ grass strip and 10’ sidewalks.
Johnson Ferry Road will then drop down to four 11’ travel lanes from Riverside Drive to Abernathy Road, with a 16’ raised grassed center median, 4’ bike lanes, 2’ grass strip and 8’ sidewalks.
Abernathy from Johnson Ferry Road to Roswell Road
Abernathy Road will be widened to four 11’ travel lanes, two in each direction, with a variable 16’ to 32’ raised median and with 4’ bike lanes, 2’ grass strip and 8’ sidewalks.
The intersection at Abernathy and Roswell will be improved by adding dual left turn lanes and a median at the intersection for all approaches.
