Gwinnett Commissioners Tuesday approved a contract to build sidewalks on the south side of Old Norcross Road from Langford Road to Ingram Road in Lawrenceville. The project will connect residential and commercial areas by installing about a third of a mile of sidewalks.
The commissioners awarded the $302,762 contract to the lowest of five bidders, CMES Construction of Lilburn. Funding comes from the 2014 SPLOST program.
Gwinnett DOT will oversee construction, which is expected to begin early next year after relocating on-site utilities. The project, which also includes drainage improvements, is expected to be completed next spring.
“This project is part of the County’s ongoing effort to improve pedestrian safety by building new sections of sidewalk and filling in gaps in existing sidewalks. The Citizens Project Selection Committee identified this as a priority need for the county,” said Gwinnett Department of Transportation Director Alan Chapman.
