Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to award a $634,260 contract to CMES Inc. of Lilburn, the lowest of 10 bidders, for the realignment of Hog Mountain Road at its intersection with Braselton Highway/State Route 124.

The intersection improvement project will realign a few hundred feet of roadway and add a left turn lane onto Hog Mountain Road to improve traffic flow. The project also includes sidewalks, curb and gutter and other drainage improvements.

The construction, funded by the 2009 SPLOST program, will be completed by the end of the year.
