Construction will soon begin on Lilburn’s Camp Creek Greenway trail.

The city approved a $526,787 contract for Signature Bridge to build the trail, with the contingency that if Signature Bridge defaults on the project, the city manager could award a contract of $719,020 to another site engineer, according to city spokeswoman Nikki Perry.

That was unanimously approved by the Lilburn City Council during its March 12 meeting.
