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

Project location:

Latest progress: crews have installed sidewalk, curb and gutter to sections along Abbotts Bridge.
Upcoming: crews will continue to construct the retaining wall at the curve and will install stacked stone on several other walls throughout the project route.
Timeline: construction is expected to be completed in spring 2027.

You can stay up-to-date on project progress on the city’s website or by signing up for construction project progress emails.
