Gwinnett Board of Commissioners acted on several initiatives during its December 5 meeting. A recap of what they approved follows.
Dual lanes coming: Commissioners awarded a contract to Ohmshiv Construction to build dual left turn lanes and modify the existing traffic signal at the intersection of Sugarloaf Parkway and Old Norcross Road. The 2017 SPLOST program is funding the nearly $1 million intersection improvement contract .
Intersection improvements: The Rockbridge Road intersection with Wydella Road will also get safety improvements with new left turn lanes, new traffic signal, concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, drainage improvements and installation of a new water main. Peach State Construction Company was awarded the $4.8 million contract, which is funded approximately 82 percent by the 2017 SPLOST program.
Sewer improvements: Approximately one mile of gravity sewer west of Buford Drive from Laurel Drive to north of I-85 in unincorporated Gwinnett County will be upsized with the award of an $18.4million contract to JDS, Inc. The project will expand sewer service to accommodate growth in the area and future flows from the Little Suwanee Creek Pump Station, which is currently under construction.
Water main replacement: Commissioners awarded a $5 million water main replacement project contract to Summit Construction and Development, LLC, to replace the water main serving the Flowers Crossing subdivision. The existing water mains are nearly 40 years old and have a history of breaks. By upgrading the water mains to current standards, the reliability of the water distribution system in this area will be improved.
