As part of the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility expansion project, crews will perform major work along Dunwoody Place that will impact travelers during the night time hours. As part of that project, Fulton County contractor John D. Stephens Inc. began constructing a new sewer main through Sandy Springs that will connect a pump station in Roswell to facilities in Cobb County.  
 
Night time construction will begin the week of November 4, 2019 through November 8, 2019 resuming November 11, 2019 through November 15, 2019. If necessary the work will resume the week of November 18, 2019. Motorists should be prepared for northbound lanes of Dunwoody Place, in the area of Roberts Drive, to be closed to allow the work to proceed. Electronic message boards will be in place to alert citizens of the work and possible traffic impacts.  
 
Upon completion, this new sewer main will divert up to 10 million gallons of wastewater per day to Cobb County for treatment in anticipation of the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility nearing its capacity by 2020. This project includes the construction of about seven miles of sewer main within Sandy Springs and Roswell as well as Cobb County. The project also includes construction of a new pump station. A project to expand the Big Creek facility is currently underway and expected to be completed in three to four years.
