Roswell Road/Grogans Ferry Road Improvements
Project Status
Construction is active at the intersection of Roswell Road and Grogans Ferry Road. Improvements include realignment of the Roswell Road and Grogans Ferry Road intersection, a new traffic signal, pedestrian lighting, sidewalks, and a raised landscaped median on Roswell Road. The purpose of the project is to improve safety and operational efficiency.
Spring 2022 Update
A traffic shift is in effect on Grogans Ferry Road for road realignment. Contractors are currently working on grading, wall construction, and concrete work for curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. There will be intermittent lane closures on Roswell Road between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Project Description
The current intersection is controlled by stop signs on the side street approaches, with travel speeds on Roswell Road considered too high for existing conditions. Between 2014 and 2016, there were 27 reported crashes and 56 reported injuries related to this intersection.
The proposed project realigns the intersection and installs a traffic signal. It also provides access management improvements consistent with The Next Ten Small Area Plan for Roswell Road, which calls for the development of functional boulevard areas.
The project is included within the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST) program approved by voters in Sandy Springs and Fulton County as part of the November 2016 referendum.
Public Information Open House
The City of Sandy Springs hosted a Public Information Open House to present plans designed to improve traffic efficiency and safety at Roswell Road and Grogans Ferry Road on Thursday, October 26, 2017, in the Sandy Springs City Hall Council Chambers.
