The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has awarded a contract for more than $1.1 million to build a new roundabout.

The traffic circle will be built at the intersection of Constitution Boulevard and Nash Street, near the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. The $1.167 million contract was awarded Tuesday to Peach State Construction Company.

“With new courtrooms under construction at Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, this intersection improvement will help traffic flow for both visitors and county employees,” said Commissioner Marlene Fosque in a county release. “Once again, voter approval of SPLOST makes projects like this one possible.”

The project will also include lighting and sidewalks, according to a county release. The money for the roundabout is coming from the 2017 SPLOST.

The roundabout is expected to be complete in fall 2020.
