Emergency Bridge Repairs Close Lane on Waters Road

While Alpharetta says the bridge is safe for vehicles now, they aren't taking chances and are fixing the bridge today.

Expect delays if you travel on Waters Road in Alpharetta today, March 25, as emergency bridge repair work is requiring lane closures.

Motorists driving on the road Monday and Monday night should anticipate those delays, which will affect the evening commute.
