Gwinnett opens new section of Sugarloaf Parkway

Gwinnett officials opened the second section of the first phase of the Sugarloaf Parkway extension to traffic this week. The roadway extends Sugarloaf Parkway from New Hope Road to a new interchange at Martins Chapel Road. The project also includes nearly a mile of upgrades to existing roadways surrounding the extension.

The $24.8-million project features a four-lane divided, limited-access roadway with 26,000 tons of asphalt and 56,000 tons of rock base placed. The bridge over Hiram Davis Road allows local traffic access over Sugarloaf Parkway.
