Since 1988, SPLOST dollars have contributed more than a billion dollars for transportation construction projects in Gwinnett, paying for building new roads, widening old ones, and making hundreds of improvements to reduce bottlenecks and upgrade traffic flow and safety. Improvements include intersection upgrades, new turn lanes, traffic lights, alignment and safety improvements, bridge replacements, sidewalks, drainage, safety improvements at schools, and resurfacing. The County also partners with the state to improve roadways in Gwinnett; more than $235 million in County funds have been allocated on state roads since 1992. County staff often handles design, land acquisition, and environmental permitting for state road projects.

The 1992 SPLOST funded two additional sections of Sugarloaf Parkway: from Old Peachtree Road to Buford Highway and from Buford Highway to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. These projects created a new four-lane divided roadway that included an underpass of the Norfolk-Southern Railroad line.

 
     

Riverside Parkway

This new four-lane roadway ran from Old Norcross Road to Lakes Parkway, and included an interchange at SR 316.
