DEL.ICIO.USSugarloaf project gets the green light
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Construction of the long-awaited Sugarloaf Parkway extension will soon get under way.
The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners last week awarded a $23.5 million contract to E.R. Snell Contractor Inc. for the first phase of the project.
The plan calls for extending Sugarloaf Parkway 6.1 miles from Ga. 20, where the road currently ends, to Ga. 316. Snell is under contract to finish the first 2.7 miles of the project, which is scheduled to be completed in 2010.
“We’re excited to get this much-needed congestion relief project under construction,” District 3 Commissioner Mike Beaudreau said.
“Our constituents have tasked us to do something about traffic and this is a huge step in answering that mandate.”
