Commission approves road, other improvements

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners last week awarded construction contracts for road and other improvements in Norcross and Sugar Hill.

Commissioners awarded a $1.7 million contract to CMES Inc. for adding a center turn lane and sidewalks on Old Norcross Tucker from South Norcross Tucker Road to Guilford Drive/Payton Way in Norcross. The sidewalks will continue to Britt Road.

Commissioners also awarded a $219,457 contract to Triscapes Inc. for sidewalks, curbs and gutters on Johnson Road from Riverside Elementary School to Settles Bridge Park and from the park to Suwanee Dam Road in Sugar Hill.
