Johnson Ferry & Abernathy Road
With the increasing population growth in Cobb County over the last few decades, Johnson Ferry Road and Abernathy Road in Fulton County have become major transportation corridors for vehicles traveling from Cobb County into Fulton County, especially to gain access to SR 400 and I-285. Recognizing that this corridor lacked sufficient capacity, in 1987 the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) developed concepts for improving Johnson Ferry Road and Abernathy Road.
