Charles and Sharlene Hamby talk to a transportation official
about plans for replacing a bridge over Ga. 400.
Northridge bridge replacement
begins next month

The Georgia Department of Trans
portation will begin replacing the
Northridge Road bridge over Ga. 400
in October, a month before the state re
moves the tolls from Ga. 400.
Sandy Springs City Hall hosted
GDOT officials on Sept. 10 as members
of the public showed up to view the lat
est plans.
The bridge replacement and inter
change improvements will cost $9.3
million. The project will take more than
two years to finish. Beginning in fall
2014, the bridge will be closed to pedes
trian traffic for one year, something that
has MARTA officials concerned.
It’s unknown what impact remov
ing the Ga. 400 tolls will have on traffic
along the road, but commuters will have
to contend with construction of the
bridge replacement that’s being funded
with toll money, according to GDOT
spokesman Mark McKinnon.
According to GDOT, in October
crews will move all northbound and
southbound traffic to the south side of
the existing bridge during reconstruc
tion of the north side. The crews will
expand the shoulder of the road for the
additional traffic. The contractor, C.W.
Matthews Contracting Co., will remove
the north side of the current bridge in
late October.
In Stage 2, beginning in fall 2014, all
traffic will move to the newly-construct
ed north side of the bridge.
“During this stage, there will be no
pedestrian access across the bridge over
(Ga. 400),” a handout from the San
dy Springs meeting warns. “Parents and
students of Dunwoody Springs and Da
vis Academy elementary schools should
plan for alternate ways to get to the
schools, including car pools.”
MARTA bus officials attended
the meeting to discuss the plans with
GDOT because many of the pedestrians
catch the bus at nearby stops.
Charles and Sharlene Hamby attend
ed because they drive Ga. 400 to vis
it their daughter in Johns Creek. “We
don’t think they’re doing anything for
the exit southbound on 400,” Charles
Hamby said, reviewing the plans.
The plans currently show GDOT in
tends to add new north and south exit
lanes on Ga. 400, and new signage for
the northbound exit ramp to Northridge
Road. There will also be a new round
about intended as a safety improvement
for Northridge and Somerset Court, the
GDOT handout says. Crews also will
construct a free flow exit lane from Ga.
400 northbound to Dunwoody Place.
The project’s projected end date is
September 2015.
