LILBURN, GA — Gwinnett County Commissioners on Tuesday approved a $2.9 million contract to replace the Harbins Road bridge over Jackson Creek in Lilburn.
"This project not only addresses flooding concerns, but also fills in the sidewalks along Harbins Road," said District 2 Commissioner Lynette Howard in a news release.
The new sidewalks will be on both sides of Harbins Road, from U.S. 29 to Dickens Road. The contractor also will install curb and gutter and drainage improvements.
