The Georgia Department of Transportation will fund 67 percent of this contract, with the remainder funded by Gwinnett’s 2009 SPLOST.

The Winters Chapel Road sidewalks is just under a half-mile in length and will be installed on the east side of the road.

At $807,248, CMES Inc. was the lowest of five bidders. Construction will be funded by the 2014 SPLOST Program.

In addition to sidewalks, these projects also include curb and gutter and drainage improvements.
