Rockbridge Road section to get sidewalks, turn lanes

A stretch of Rockbridge Road near Lilburn will get new sidewalks and turn lanes under a contract approved by the Gwinnett Board of Commissioners Tuesday.

Commissioners awarded the $959,513 contract to low bidder E.R. Snell Contractor Inc. for work on Rockbridge from Lilburn-Stone Mountain Road to Five Forks Trickum Road. The company will build 1.25 miles of sidewalks, curb and gutter and build new turn lanes.

The project will be paid for with money from a special sales tax for construction projects.
