The Georgia Department of Transportation has begun resurfacing both sides of U.S. 78 from Fountain Drive in Snellville, through portions of Lilburn all the way to the Gwinnett-Dekalb County line.

Baldwin Paving is the contractor working under GDOT supervision with patching and milling performed before repaving.

The $4.6 million project was approved in November. Work began March 27 and is expected to take approximately 6 months, with an anticipated finish date of Aug. 31.

Motorists should use caution through the area and anticipate mild delays.
