The City of Roswell hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, to mark the beginning of Roswell’s first major tier 1 project in the 2016 Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) referendum. This transformative project will create a new roadway connection from Warsaw Road in the west to Old Alabama Road in the east and crosses over GA 400 north of Holcomb Bridge Road.
“30 years from now no one will remember this day, but The City of Roswell will be incredibly better off because today we officially break ground on the Big Creek Parkway Phase 1 project,” said Mayor Kurt Wilson.
The project’s goal is to relieve congestion on Holcomb Bridge Road near the GA 400 interchange and improve east-west connectivity in Roswell. Currently, Holcomb Bridge Road and Riverside Road are the only options for traveling east and west in Roswell.
As part of the project, dual left-turn lanes will be constructed on three of the four approaches. Warsaw Road will be widened from two lanes to four lanes from Holcomb Bridge Road to just north of Bainbridge Road to accommodate the Big Creek Parkway Phase 2 connection to Warsaw.
This project will also include the construction of sidewalks and an eight-foot multi-use trail along Warsaw Road.
This phase lays the foundation for Phase II, which will extend Big Creek Parkway with a new bridge over GA 400, creating a direct connection between Warsaw Road and Old Alabama Road, further reducing traffic congestion in Roswell.
Mayor Wilson and the current City Council secured $15 million from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for project construction.
