Gwinnett Commissioners voted recently to execute an intergovernmental agreement with Norcross regarding jointly funded 2017 SPLOST intersection improvement projects. The first is the safety and realignment project at Holcomb Bridge Road at the Norfolk Southern Railroad Crossing. The second project will improve the intersection at Medlock Bridge Road and North Peachtree Street/Langford Road.

The estimated cost of the county-managed railroad crossing project is $1,200,000. The estimated cost of the county-managed Medlock Bridge Road at North Peachtree Street/Langford Road project is $200,000.

Norcross will reimburse Gwinnett in the amount of $266,000.00, which represents 19 percent of the total project costs. The total county contribution is $1,134,000.
