Johns Creek, GA 30097
Johns Creek has 14 vehicular bridges each of which must be maintained and eventually replaced. The Georgia Department of Transportation conducts bi-annual bridge inspections which yield sufficiency ratings (scores out of 100 points) indicating the condition of the bridge.
Johns Creek has four bridges on the replacement list:
Old Alabama Road over the Chattahoochee Tributary
About the Project
The bridge on Old Alabama Road over the Chattahoochee Tributary (near Autrey Mill Nature Preserve) is the City’s lowest scoring bridge (with a sufficiency rating of 50.2) and next on the list for replacement.
The project would replace the existing bridge and add pedestrian facilities (sidewalk / trail) over the Chattahoochee Tributary.
Next Step
Engineering in Fall 2024.

Project Location
Buice Road Bridge Replacement
About the Project
In partnership with GDOT, the City will replace the bridge over Johns Creek with a wider bridge that can accommodate both drivers and pedestrians on either side of Buice Road. This area has occasional flooding that will require the bridge to be raised in order to reduce the risk for closure during flooding events. Additionally, this project will tie into the adjacent Buice Road Trail project (from Spruill Road to Haverhill Lane) and Buice Road Sidewalk project (from Twingate Drive to Kingston Crossing Circle) to complete the pedestrian corridor along Buice Road between Jones Bridge Road and Old Alabama Road.
Next Step
Construction expected to begin in late 2024.
