The road will be closed from July 6 to Aug. 6 between Old Ellis Road/Sanctuary Parkway and just south of Founders Parkway/Hembree Park Drive.
The 30-day closure is for a reconstruction project designed to improve travel conditions and drainage, as a new development is built adjacent to Old Roswell Road just north of Ellis Road, the city said. Also being constructed during the road closure will be a roundabout at the entrance to the new development.

This full road closure -- as opposed to single-lane closures -- allows the contractor to expedite construction and reopen the completed roadway to the traveling public sooner, Roswell notes.
During the full road closure, drivers are advised to follow the detour route. The route can be viewed here.
