The Old Roswell Road/Westside Parkway Bridge over Foe Killer Creek is tentatively scheduled to close to all traffic on October 22. The bridge is expected to be closed for approximately 12 months while replacement of the narrow bridge takes place.

During construction, traffic will be detoured to Mansell Road, Northpoint Parkway, Encore Parkway, Westside Parkway and Hembree Road.

In addition to replacing the bridge, the construction includes the extension of Westside Parkway from Mansell Road to Sanctuary Parkway, the alignment of Old Roswell Road and Rockmill Road, and safety improvements to the Old Roswell Road and Mansell Road intersection.

The estimated cost of the project is $23 million. The majority of the funding is provided by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Federal Highway Authority. The City of Roswell has contributed $600,000 toward the design of the project and the City of Alpharetta has contributed $600,000 toward right-of-way acquisition. The North Fulton Community Improvement District (CID) has contributed $1.2 million toward both the design and right-of-way acquisition. GDOT will oversee the construction of the project.
