Gwinnett SPLOST and GDOT to fund design of S.R. 316 interchanges

The Gwinnett Board of Commissioners recently agreed to partner with the Georgia Department of Transportation to fund the preliminary design of a grade-separated interchange on State Route 8 over State Route 316 in Dacula.

GDOT and Gwinnett will each contribute close to $2 million towards the preliminary engineering for the project, which includes interchanges at Hurricane Trail and S.R. 8/Winder Highway. Gwinnett’s portion of the funding will come from the 2017 SPLOST program.

Construction isn’t expected to begin until 2022. Other related projects include interchanges at Hi-Hope Road and Harbins Road. Construction on the Harbins Road interchange project is expected to be completed in 2022. The Hi-Hope Road interchange is in the preliminary design phase.
