The Jimmy Carter Blvd. bridge over Interstate 85 will be renamed in honor of slain Gwinnett County Police Officer James “Chris” Magill, who died 20 years ago after being hit by a drunk driver.

The bridge will be rededicated Monday, in a ceremony from 1-2 p.m. at the Westside Police Precinct, 6160 Crescent Drive in Norcross. Magill’s brother, Tim, was foreman on the project.
