Road Improvement Updates Alpharetta Georgia

- This intersection has gone through several reconfigurations over the past 10 years. Additional improvements will include resurfacing the intersection, aligning the west bound travel lane, installing the sidewalk from Tuxford to Waters Road and from Waters to the Sae Han church, as well as improved storm water drainage. The left turn stacking lanes will be extended in all directions and the eastbound right turn lane from KBR to Waters will be extended. Right of way discussions have continued to delay this project. Big Creek Bridge - The bridge will be constructed on the south side of the existing bridge. The road will be realigned to the new much higher bridge, and the old bridge will be demolished. The new bridge will have four foot wide bike lanes and six foot wide sidewalks on both sides with access to the Greenway underneath. North Point Pkwy/Kimball Bridge Road - In the March 2007 citizen survey this was identified as the worst intersection in Alpharetta. This project will include extended westbound left turn stacking lanes onto NPP, an extended west bound right turn lane onto NPP, eastbound merge lane on KBR from NPP to the school along with improved storm drainage and sidewalks. This is currently in a conceptual design stage.Sterling Brooke - There will be a new single family residential development (Sterling Brooke) just west of the Sheridan Park neighborhood before you get to Big Creek. This will consist of 42 homes on 14 acres.Schedule - There have been some delays due to right of way acquisition, funding, intergovernmental issues, and other obstacles. The Waters Road and Bridge replacement were scheduled to begin this year. Land clearing for Sterling Brooke should begin this month. The Kimball Bridge Coalition, of which Glen Abbey is a member, has been working diligently with GDOT, Fulton County, and the City of Alpharetta for several years to bring these projects to fruition with the interests of our residents paramount in all discussions.
