Sandy Springs Opens Spruill Lane to Improve Traffic Flow

The City of Sandy Springs today celebrated the opening of Spruill Lane. This new roadway will significantly improve traffic flow and enhance safety for motorists and pedestrians in the Mount Vernon Highway/Johnson Ferry Road corridor.

Spruill Lane is named in honor of the prominent Spruill family, with deep roots in the Sandy Springs community dating back to the early 19th century. The family's contributions to the region are extensive, ranging from land ownership that now encompasses Perimeter Mall to the establishment of the Spruill Center for the Arts.

"Spruill Lane honors the legacy of the Spruill family while providing much-needed relief for our residents, pedestrians and commuters," said Mayor Rusty Paul. "This project would not be possible without the continued support and patience of the community throughout the construction process."

The opening of Spruill Lane marks a significant milestone in the ongoing Mount Vernon Highway/Johnson Ferry Road improvements. This $18 million T-SPLOST project aims to improve vehicular and pedestrian mobility and reduce congestion by alleviating the bottleneck conditions for east-west traffic on Johnson Ferry Road, Mount Vernon Highway, and north-south traffic on Roswell Road.

In tandem with Spruill Lane's opening, the traffic light at the Johnson Ferry Road and Mount Vernon intersection will be deactivated, permanently separating the roads. When the project is completed in 2026, both Mount Vernon Road and Johnson Ferry Road will be two-way operations. For more details on the project, visit spr.gs/JFMV.
