Gwinnett to install more traffic cameras
Gwinnett County will install traffic cameras to monitor two congested areas under contracts approved by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday.
The county will install cameras on a six-mile stretch of Pleasant Hill Road from Lawrenceville Highway to Buford Highway. It also will install them along three miles of Buford Drive from I-985 to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
Commissioners awarded both contracts – worth a combined $847,668 – to low-bidder R.J. Haynie Inc. Gwinnett operates about 115 cameras. Commuters can view live traffic feeds on TVgwinnett or at www.gcsmartcommute.com.
