Kimball Bridge Construction Detour

The Alpharetta portion of the Big Creek Greenway will be closed just South of Kimball Bridge while construction is completed on the new bridge and utilities are installed. The closure will take place from July 26th through September 30th. This will only be a small section of the greenway, but will force a detour on anyone wanting to continue South of Rock Mill Park or North of Haynes Bridge. A portion of the trail will still be open North of Haynes Bridge, but the closure will not allow continuing past Kimball Bridge. The length of the detour is 1.3 miles, replacing 1.8 miles of the trail from Haynes Bridge to Kimball Bridge. There are sidewalks available for the entire length, but it does require crossing some busy intersections. Please make sure you use the crosswalks and follow the lights.

Detour when heading South from Rock Mill Park:
From Rock Mill Park you can follow the sidewalks on Kimball Bridge West to North Point Parkway. Follow North Point Parkway South to Georgia Lane. Take Georgia Lane to Haynes Bridge which will lead back to the trail at Haynes Bridge.

Detour when heading North from Haynes Bridge:
Take the split in the trail that heads to the Haynes Bridge parking area. From the parking area head West on Haynes Bridge. Turn right on Georgia Lane. Turn right again on North Point Parkway heading North. Use the crosswalk when you get to Kimball Bridge and then head East on Kimball Bridge.

Greenway Closed Due to Flooding

The Greenway is closed again due to flooding. With nearly 2 inches of rain in the area, the river had reached 8 feet at Kimball Bridge and 7 feet at Hwy 9 when this article was written.

Unfortunately, even with sun and moderate temperatures forecast, the flooding will likely close the Greenway for the weekend. Please check the Alpharetta website for the status of the Greenway and call the Greenway Status Hotline (770.886.2851 extension 5) for the Forsyth Greenway before visiting the trails.
