Your summer road-work scorecard
Between new exits, closed bridges, and fresh signals, Milton driving is a moving target this summer. The current state of play:
Exit 11A is open. GDOT's new GA-400 interchange at McGinnis Ferry Road, five years and $66 million in the making, doubles the state route's access points in Milton. It sits between the Windward Parkway and McFarland Parkway exits and gives Deerfield-area drivers a way on and off 400 without touching Windward.
Freemanville Road bridge: closed until fall. GDOT is replacing the bridge over Cooper Sandy Creek, a $2.9 million project flagged through the state's bridge-inspection program. The road has been closed there since May 26, and nearby Landrum Road is closed to through traffic too. The payoff: wider lanes, real shoulders, and room for a future walking and biking path.
A signal is coming to Crabapple and Green. GDOT is installing a traffic signal at an intersection the city has pushed to fix for years, and Milton still hopes to land a roundabout there eventually.
And Morris Road stays on track for its September finish, as we covered last week.
