New bridge, sidewalks for Cruse Road
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Tuesday approved a new bridge and sidewalks along Cruse Road near Lawrenceville.
Commissioners awarded a $2.9 million contract to low bidder CMES Inc. The company will replace the Cruse Road Bridge over Sweetwater Creek. The wider bridge will separate opposing traffic and add shoulders, guardrail and a left-turn lane onto James Road.
The project also includes sidewalks on the north side of Cruse from Vintage Pointe Drive to Club Drive and on the south side of Cruse from Sweetwater Middle School to James Road.
