Gwinnett commissioners on Tuesday approved close to $2.8 million in SPLOST funds for four sections of sidewalk and two intersection improvements.

Commissioners approved the low bid of $493,644.50 by Peach State Construction to install sidewalks along the east side of Bethany Church Road from U.S. 78 to Overland Trail. A sidewalk will also be added along the east side of Killian Hill Road for 630 feet. These two projects total just over a half mile of sidewalk.

Commissioners also awarded a contract for $609,654 to low bidder CMES to build sidewalks along Lee Road and Telida Trail.

CMES was the low bidder as well on intersection improvements at State Route 124/Braselton Highway at Mount Moriah Road and Hamilton Mill Road at Old Hamilton Mill Road. The $1,690,389 project will add a traffic signal along with left-turn lanes and an eastbound right-turn lane on State Route 124/Braselton Highway at Mount Moriah Road. The Hamilton Mill Road at Old Hamilton Mill Road project will upgrade the intersection and add an eastbound right-turn lane on Hamilton Mill Road.

All four projects include curb and gutter and drainage improvements.
