Gwinnett commissioners awarded two road improvement contracts to low bidder CMES Inc. on Tuesday. Garner Road will get a new bridge over Garner Creek and Five Forks Trickum Road will get a new left turn lane at Chesapeake Drive. Both projects are funded by the 2009 SPLOST and include sidewalk, curb, gutter, and drainage improvements.
The Garner Road bridge project, south of Lilburn, will replace an existing structure and raise the roadway to improve sight distance. The $3.4 million project will take about 20 months to complete.
The safety and alignment project on Five Forks Trickum Road runs between Lake Lucerne Road and Timberland Drive in Lilburn. New sidewalk on the south side will connect Lake Lucerne to existing sidewalk near the Silver Hill subdivision. The new left turn lane will serve the Old Dominion subdivision. The cost is $815,978 and should take about 6 months to complete.
