SPLOST funds to pay for Gwinnett road improvements

Gwinnett Commissioners awarded a construction contract Tuesday for a safety and alignment project along Bennett Road between State Route 84/Grayson Parkway and Natchez Valley Trace in Grayson. The project will realign Bennett Road and fill in sidewalk gaps along the south side of the roadway.

The project also includes curb, gutter and other drainage improvements.

Ohmshiv Construction LLC was the lowest responsive bidder of four bidders at $629,862.

Work on the SPLOST-funded improvements is expected to be complete by the second quarter of 2016.
