Gwinnett County and Peachtree Corners will jointly fund improvements at the intersection of Medlock Bridge and Bush roads. Improvements for this busy intersection, in which over 25,000 vehicles pass daily, are expected to begin as early as spring 2019.
Construction will create dedicated thru lanes and extended turn lanes to increase capacity on both roads. Additionally, the dedicated right-turn lane on Bush Road for northbound traffic on S.R. 141 will be separated by a raised median to allow a continuous flow of traffic.
Pedestrian safety features will also be enhanced and will include upgrading signals and crosswalks and adding a pedestrian island.
The project for these two county-maintained roads will be funded through a joint inter-governmental agreement between Gwinnett and the city utilizing SPLOST funds. Final construction costs are still being developed. The project is estimated to take 15 months to complete.
