The city of Lawrenceville will be converting two downtown streets from one-way traffic to two-way on July 9.

The plan is part of the city’s Livable Communities Initiative, intended to make city roads safer and easier to navigate.

Perry and Clayton streets from Pike Street south will start the transition to two-way traffic in early July, and the process will last a few weeks, according to the city.

The timeline depends on how much work construction crews accomplish during the transition process, according to a city alert. The city asks drivers to have patience and be cautious while driving during the transition.

“The two-way streets will benefit all of those who live, work, play and visit Lawrenceville’s downtown by providing increased connectivity, better navigation, and pedestrian safety,” said City Manager Chuck Warbington in a release. “We are looking forward to having the project completed and ask for the public’s patience during the conversion process.”
