The Georgia Department of Transportation will have construction crews shift lanes on drivers as part of the Ga. 13 widening project beginning Thursday, Feb. 20. Crews will move traffic onto new lanes to be able to continue paving. As always, the work is weather-permitting.
The project will widen about 1.53 miles along Buford Hwy/Ga.13 from Sawnee Avenue in Gwinnett to Friendship Road in Hall County. The existing roadway currently offers two lanes with a variable width, and only a few locations with left turn and right turn lanes. The current project will widen Buford Hwy/Ga.13 to a 4-lane urban facility with a 20-foot raised median, 4-foot bike lanes, curb and gutter and a 5-foot sidewalk on both sides.
Drivers are reminded to slow down and drive alert through the construction zone.
