The Gwinnett DOT will begin soon on preliminary work for the Holcomb Bridge Road Railroad Crossing Improvement Project in Downtown Norcross. This project will involve road improvements at the troublesome intersection of Holcomb Bridge Road and Thrasher Street in order to provide a safer vehicular crossing over the railroad tracks. The Thrasher Street/Holcomb Bridge intersection will be raised about 5 feet to provide a more moderate grade transition over the railroad tracks while improving visibility for drivers. No work is proposed on the South Peachtree side of the tracks.
The project is being led by Gwinnett in coordination with the city. Upon completion of preliminary work, road closures should begin in late Feb. The entire project is expected to be complete in late May 2019.
During the construction period, the intersection of Thrasher Street and Holcomb Bridge Road will be closed. Drivers may experience minor traffic inconveniences due to the construction and the subsequent detour. Construction dates are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
