Neighboring Town to Stop Cut-Through Traffic on Douglas Road for Construction

If you normally drive down Doulgas Road in Alpharetta, you'd better change your plans starting next Monday. The city of Alpharetta will close a portion of the road beginning June 6 due to a road construction project.

The affected area is between Leeward Run Drive and Oak Tree Hollow.  South Lake Drive and Leeward Walk Circle will also be closed at their intersections with Douglas Road, according to a news release from the city.

The purpose of these closures is to permit construction associated with the intersection and pedestrian improvements at Douglas Road and South Lake Drive and the replacement of the bridge across Caney Creek.

While the road closures are in effect, a detour route will be posted utilizing Jones Bridge Road and McGinnis Ferry Road. A copy of the detour route is available on the Engineering/Public Works section of the City of Alpharetta Web site. It also accompanies this story.

For more information about the road closure, contact the Department of Engineering and Public Works at 678-297-6200.
