(Lawrenceville, Ga., April 4,2025) – The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners approved several transportation and infrastructure contracts during its April 1 meeting. Highlights from the approved agenda items include safety improvements, extensive road resurfacing, and expanded partnerships with the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Pedestrian enhancements on Beaver Ruin Road and Center Way

The Board awarded a $4.77 million to E.R. Snell Contractor, Inc. to construct new fencing on  Beaver Ruin Road and Center Way bridges over Interstate 85. The project also includes the installation of crosswalks at the intersection of Center Way and Brook Hollow Parkway. The safety-focused project is funded by the 2017 SPLOST program and was the only bid received.

Resurfacing over 200 miles of County roads

To maintain and extend the life of residential roadways, the Board awarded resurfacing contracts totaling $12.7 million to The Scruggs Company dba Sunbelt Asphalt Surfaces, Inc. and Triple R Paving and Construction, LLC. The contracts will allow Gwinnett to resurface over 43 centerline miles of residential streets this cycle, with more than 200 miles scheduled for rehabilitation this year. The County is divided into three sections: north, central east, and west. Sunbelt Asphalt will manage the north section, while Triple R will cover the central east and west.
