Back in February we reported on the closure dates for the Willeo Creek bridge that’s to undergo a full replacement, and that time has come.

The bridge connecting the Timber Ridge Road-Lower Roswell Road roundabout in East Cobb with Willeo Road in Roswell is closing on Tuesday, June 1, and is expected to reopen on Sept. 29.

That’s the latest from Cobb DOT, which is overhauling the 60-year bridge in a joint project with the City of Roswell at a cost of more than $3 million.

The wider bridge will include room for cyclists and pedestrians, linking existing sidewalks and trails between Willeo Road and Lower Roswell Road.

The area is heavily used in the summers for recreational facilities along the Chattahoochee River, and the City of Roswell has drawn up a detour map.

Willeo Road will be fully opened east of Bywater Trail, which is just east of Willeo Creek.
