all but one of the homes along abernathy were destroyed for widening, but the neighborhoods along the 1¼ miles or two kilometers of johnson ferry road were spared. johnson ferry and abernathy were "broken", such that they flow directly into each other, and now require a turn at two new intersections to stay straight on the original roads. the bridge at the former ferry location was widened between columns drive on the cobb riverbank to riverside drive on the fulton riverbank, from four lanes to six plus bike lanes, wide sidewalks, and a raised road median.
