$1.8 million to improve Gwinnett sidewalks, intersections
Gwinnett County will spend more than $1.8 million for sidewalk and intersection improvements in the Gwinnett Place area and near North Gwinnett High School.
The county Board of Commissioners Tuesday awarded two contracts to CMES for the projects.
The company will install sidewalks along Steve Reynolds Boulevard from Venture Drive to Shackleford Road. It also will improve the intersection of Pleasant Hill Road and Gwinnett Place Drive, providing access to Gwinnett Place Mall for southbound motorists on Pleasant Hill Road. The contract for both projects is $780,639.
CMES also won a $1.1 million contract to improve the intersection of Suwanee Dam Road and West Price Road, adjacent to North Gwinnett High School. The project includes a traffic signal and left turn lanes on West Price Road, plus curb and gutter and drainage improvements.
The projects will be paid for with money from special sales taxes approved by voters.
