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.
