City Project Progress: Abbotts Bridge Road improvements

In a recent email, the city shared updates on the road improvement project on Abbotts Bridge Road (from Parsons Road to Medlock Bridge Road).

The project includes the addition of turn lanes, medians, sidewalks and bike lanes. The additional turn lanes will “provide a safe ingress/egress from neighborhoods and aid in traffic flow for motorists.”

Project location:
