Gwinnett commissioners awarded contracts Tuesday for intersection upgrades and pedestrian sidewalks along State Route 120/Duluth Highway.
Drivers on SR 120 near Duluth will get a new deceleration lane for turning right onto Bunten Road, a new left turn lane onto Whippoorwill Circle, a new eastbound through lane, signal and pedestrian upgrades for SR 120 at Boggs Road, and a new deceleration lane from SR 120 eastbound onto Boggs Road southbound.
A pedestrian safety project will connect existing sidewalks along both sides of SR 120 from Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road to past Riverside Parkway near Lawrenceville. The project includes curb, gutter and drainage improvements plus signal and pedestrian upgrades at Riverside Parkway.
A second sidewalk project near Sweetwater Park is on the east side of Bethesda School Road between Fork Creek Parkway and West Regal Court. A third project will add new sidewalks on the east side of Davenport Road and the north side of Hill Drive to finish connecting Shorty Howell Park to McDaniel Farm Park.
All are funded by the 2009 SPLOST sales tax and should be completed before the end of 2015.
