The Martin Farm Road Bridge is getting a facelift! The contractor will begin construction closing the bridge beginning on November 11, 2025. Georgia Department of Transportation has established a detour route for the closure.

Originally constructed in 1978, the bridge does not meet current design standards. The replacement bridge will be 240-feet long and wider by over 9 feet, improving traffic safety and allowing for the addition of a sidewalk. Additionally, the bridge deck will be raised seven feet, allowing for the passage of more water to reduce flooding.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has entered into a contract with F.S. Scarbrough to reconstruct the bridge on Martin Farm Road over Suwanee Creek. This detour is essential to facilitate the safe and efficient demolition of the old bridge and construction of the new bridge. 

The Martin Farm Road bridge replacement is a Georgia Department of Transportation project (ID#0015618). Click here for project updates.

Once demolition begins, the bridge will be closed for an extended period. Detailed detour routing and signage will be deployed in accordance with GDOT requirements and traffic control plans. If there are any unforeseen delays with utility work or other field conditions, the detour timeline may be adjusted accordingly. The City will share updates on our website and social media channels.
