    Update: After 10 Long Months, multiple errors and delays, the Bridge is Open!

     It appears the Parsons Rd Bridge will be opening soon.  This picture of the rebar installed was taken Thursday 3:30pm.

    On Friday, the cement was poured. Road markings have been painted.

    Parsons Run subdivision signage is obstructed from the high rails on the bridge.  This may result in more U-turns further up the road.

These tests indicate how well the concrete cured and when the road can endure traffic. If additives were added to the concrete to cure faster, the bridge will be open soon. If not, concrete could take 7+ days to cure or harden.

    If the bridge is hastily opened too soon, cracks will appear in the concrete from all the heavy trucks. We'll update when the structural engineers give the green light!

    The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.

    About time it is unacceptable to have taken as long as did. Dont hire these people again.

    Who was the company that did the work? Was it one of the usual suspects that seem to attempt to do all the work in Johns Creek?
