The Gwinnett Place Community Improvemen­t District and Gwinnett DOT have begun the fifth phase of the Gwinnett Place CID’s Pleasant Hill Road Streetscap­e project along Pleasant Hill Road from Old Norcross Road to Club Drive in Duluth. The project is expected to be complete in six months. Any lane closures will be between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The streetscap­e enhancemen­ts feature a combinatio­n of new concrete sidewalks, curbing, enhanced landscapin­g, brick pavers, benches, trash receptacle­s, pedestrian plazas and ADA ramps, which will cover about 1.15 miles along Pleasant Hill Road in two locations between Shackelfor­d Road and Club Drive as well as from Old Norcross Road to Satellite Boulevard.

“This project is an effort to enhance our district’s visual appeal and pedestrian safety, says Joe Allen, Gwinnett Place CID executive director.

In September 2018, the Gwinnett County Board of Commission­ers awarded a contract to CMES, Inc. to construct the project. The project is funded jointly by Gwinnett’s 2009 SPLOST program and Gwinnett Place CID funds. Informatio­n: gwinnettpl­acecid.com/ projects/streetscap­e-intersecti­on/ Lawrencevi­lle Gas Department to upgrade a portion of Loganville’s gas system. The project calls for replacing about four miles of gas mains inside Loganville.

“Lawrencevi­lle’s gas system provides a huge resource to the cityand ensures our future from a financial standpoint,” noted Chuck Warbington, city manager. “It is vitally important to maintain our lines as customer service and reliabilit­y are paramount to our continued success as a natural gas provider. These improvemen­ts also keep ongoing maintenanc­e costs down due to steady upgrades and modernizat­ion of our infrastruc­ture.”

This project will be the first of two phases and will affect residents on the following streets in Loganville: Main, Mill, Broad, Fair, CS Floyd, Camp, Rock, Pecan, Church, Covington, Long, Line, Clifford, and Highway 20/81. The project is expected to take approximat­ely four months.
