Sidewalks to be built near East Park Place in Gwinnett

Gwinnett County Commissioners have awarded a $1.5 million contract for sidewalk construction along Rockbridge Road near Stone Mountain.

“The sidewalk will be built between Five Forks Trickum Road and East Park Place Boulevard, which is a high-traffic area for pedestrians,” said District 2 Commissioner Lynette Howard. “The sidewalk will connect residential areas along Rockbridge to retail establishments in the East Park Place and U.S. 78 area.”

CMES, Inc. had the lowest of three bids at $1,486,449. The project stretches about 1.2 miles and includes the installation of sidewalks, curb and gutter and drainage improvements along the west side of Rockbridge Road.

The project is funded by the 2009 SPLOST program.
