Johns Creek Repairs Boardwalk Damaged By Truck

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- A pedestrian boardwalk damaged by a truck a little more than a week ago in Johns Creek has been repaired.

The boardwalk at the Barnwell/Jones Bridge Road curve has reopened to the public after a truck damaged the portion of the structure.

The city said on its Facebook page that the section of the curve has been declared an Oak Tree Preserve, and installing a concrete sidewalk would require grading and ground disturbance.

That, according to the city, could damage roots and harm the trees in the area.

"The boardwalk is less intrusive to the tree roots and helps preserve the life of the tree," the city stated.
