Gwinnett Water Resources to host bridge replacement info meeting

The Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources is hosting a public information meeting to discuss an upcoming bridge and culvert replacement project on Old Norcross Road at 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. April 23 at Atlanta Korean Seventh Day Adventist Church, 4801 Old Norcross Road in Duluth.

The project includes installing a larger culvert to keep the bridge from flooding in severe storms. This new culvert will completely replace the aging bridge between Simpson Circle and Buford Highway. A portion of Old Norcross Road will close to through traffic beginning May 23 and is tentatively scheduled to reopen in August.

During the meeting, Department of Water Resources staff will be available to answer questions and share information on the project, including plans for detour routes around the closed section of road. Residents of the Old Norcross Road area are invited to drop in any time during the session to find out how their neighborhood and commute will be affected.
