Johnson Ferry Road Project Opens

U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson cut the ribbon Monday on the much-anticipated Johnson Ferry/Abernathy Road widening project.

The project widens Abernathy Road by adding two more lanes from Johnson Ferry Road to Roswell Road. It also includes four-foot bike lanes, eight-foot sidewalks, and is divided by a raised median.

Once completed, the project is said to relieve congestion and provide better travel times for thousands of motorists on a daily basis.

The Abernathy Road project also included widening Johnson Ferry Road from Columns Drive to Abernathy Road, providing six travel lanes from Columns Drive to Riverside Drive, four travel lanes from Riverside to Abernathy, a raised median, bike lanes and sidewalks.
