PHOTOS: Checking in with all that stuff being built on Scenic Highway

By now, Gwinnett, you're probably aware that they're building a lot of stuff on Scenic Highway.

Like, a whole lot.

Among many other things, the popular thoroughfare that connects Snellville and Lawrenceville is getting a new Taco Bell, a new dine-in movie theater and a Cracker Barrel (!).

But where do all of these projects stand? And when will they be finished?

Not many have concrete opening dates just yet, but the photo tour below provides a little insight into — and visual proof of — the progress.
