| | | | | | | A fast growing Gwinnett County has prompted the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners to build a 6 mi. extension of the Sugarloaf Parkway in an attempt to reduce commuter traffic congestion.
Sunbelt Structures of Tucker, Ga., specializes in all components of interstate highway interchange construction. Awarded the $21 million contract by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Sunbelt began work in mid-February 2009 with an anticipated completion date of early 2011. The complete project consists of a new interchange, a four-lane highway, three new bridges, and dozens of reinforced earth walls and box culverts.
A major concern for Gwinnett County and Sunbelt Structures was to reduce the environmental impact of the construction, as the extension of Sugarloaf Parkway would pass through wetland and watershed areas.
