SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Starting Monday, the intersection of Mt. Vernon Highway and Sandy Springs Circle will close for construction related to road improvements surrounding the City Springs project.

The city expects the intersection to reopen early summer. In the meantime, detour signs will be posted to help direct motorists around the closure.

The closure will go into effect before the start of the morning rush hour, and "we are asking all motorists for patience as drivers make their way through the detours," the city said.

Updates on the closure will be posted on the city of Sandy Springs Facebook page, and and all lane and road closures throughout the city are listed on the road work advisory page.

Those with questions can contact the city at 770-730-5600. Here's how you will be able to navigate your way around the closure:

Motorists traveling on Roswell Road wanting to connect with Mt. Vernon westbound:

• Turn onto Hammond Drive westbound to connect with Mt. Vernon.

Motorists traveling westbound on Mt Vernon (towards I-285) from Roswell Road
