Forsyth County proceeding with Ga. 20 widening

The Ga. 20 widening project in Forsyth and Gwinnett Counties has reached another milestone.

Starting Feb. 13, project contractor C.W. Matthews will begin splitting traffic around a recently-constructed median. That will divide traffic and allow drivers to use a brand-new stretch of roadway between Samples Road and James Burgess Road. GDOT cautions that traffic will remain one-lane in each direction.

A GDOT spokeswoman said the split is a first step toward opening the entire project by the end of May.
