Windward Parkway, Ga. 400 Turn Lanes Opened

ALPHARETTA, GA — The North Fulton Community Improvement District (CID) and City of Alpharetta officially opened Windward Parkway Phase II – the CID’s most recently completed construction project to improve transportation in and around North Fulton. The second phase of the Windward Parkway project adds a triple-left-turn lane to reduce congestion and improve transportation flow for drivers entering Windward Parkway from Ga. 400 northbound. The project also adds a third westbound lane from the interchange to Deerfield Parkway/Westside Parkway, and a double left turn for those traveling southbound on Westside Parkway from Windward Parkway. Commuters, residents and daily visitors will notice an immediate impact to the area as a result of Windward Parkway Phase II.

“Windward Parkway is a heavily traveled corridor whether it’s local traffic, commerce or commuters traveling to one of Alpharetta’s many corporate headquarters,” said Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin. “We are thankful to the North Fulton CID for leading this important infrastructure project, which will improve mobility in and around our city.”

The first phase of the project, completed in 2011, added a right turn lane at the bottom of the Windward exit ramp as well as an eastbound lane along Windward from the off-ramp to North Point Parkway. The project is part of ongoing efforts to improve transportation flow for drivers entering Windward Parkway.

“Completing and opening the second phase of Windward Parkway is the ultimate example of what can happen when you have a dedicated and determined team working together” said North Fulton CID Executive Director Brandon Beach. “We broke ground on the second phase of Windward Parkway in April 2019, and despite a global pandemic, this team stayed the course and was able to complete the project on time. That’s a testament to everyone involved.”

The $7.18 million project is being jointly funded by the North Fulton CID, the City of Alpharetta, Georgia Department of Transportation, State Road and Tollway Authority and Fulton County. The total investment the North Fulton CID has made is just over $1 million.
