(Lawrenceville, Ga., Nov. 10, 2021) – The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners earlier this month approved rapid response construction of turn lane extensions at three locations. The contract approved Nov. 5 includes extending the northbound left turn lane on Sugarloaf Parkway at State Route 120/ Duluth Highway, the westbound left turn lane on Old Norcross Road at U.S. 29/ State Route 8/ Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, and the westbound left turn lane on Old Norcross Road at Cruse Road.

The Board awarded the contract to Ohmshiv Construction, LLC, in the amount of $359,580. This amount is funded by the 2017 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax program, also known as SPLOST.
