Lilburn’s Main Street Realignment project is nearing completion. Construction began in February 2014 to reconfigure Main Street and create a safer, more traditional intersection at Lawrenceville Highway. The project includes two roundabouts for smoother traffic flow to Old Town and Church Street has been lowered eight feet to improve sight distance and safety. The $3.5-million project is funded by the city, Gwinnett County, the State Road and Tollway Authority, and the Lilburn Community Improvement District.

A celebration has been scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. April 23 on the new section of road between the two roundabouts. Residents are invited to bring a pair of scissors and join in the official ribbon cutting at 6 p.m.
