Additional $158K needed to complete intersection project in Duluth

Gwinnett Commissioners recently approved an additional $158,728 for the intersection improvement project at Venture Drive and Steve Reynolds Boulevard in Duluth. The adjusted contract with Ohmshiv Construction will result in a new total from $1,994,409 to $2,153,137.

The change is needed to redesign and construct a different type of wall due to an unforeseen conflict with an underground Jackson EMC electrical duct bank along Venture Drive at the intersection with Steve Reynolds Boulevard.

The project will add a second eastbound through lane and extend the southbound left turn lane. The existing traffic signal will be replaced with a new traffic signal. The project includes the installation of curb and gutter, sidewalks and drainage improvements.

This contract is funded by various SPLOST programs and the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District.
