Gwinnett commissioners on Tuesday approved construction contracts for two SPLOST-funded pedestrian safety projects.

One project will add about two miles of sidewalks along the northern side of Burns Road from Beaver Ruin Road to East Johns Road, along both sides of Dickens Road from Indian Trail-Lilburn Road to Indian Way, and along both sides of Beaver Ruin Road from Shady Drive to Beaver Ruin Court.

The new sidewalks will fill gaps and provide connectivity to existing sidewalks in the Lilburn area.

The $1.1 million contract was awarded to low bidder Summit Construction. The sidewalks should be completed by the end of this year.
