Traffic shift on State Route 13 in Buford postponed

The planned traffic shift on State Route 13/Buford Highway between Lanier Islands Parkway and Sawnee Avnue in Buford has been postponed due to wet weather and is rescheduled for June 30.

The project will widen S.R. 13/Buford Highway to four lanes, two lanes in each direction, with a 20-foot raised grass median. Bike lanes and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides of the route are also included.

E.R. Snell Contractor, Inc. of Snellville was awarded the project in June of 2016 and will complete the project in June of 2020. This project will increase safety and increase the capacity between Gwinnett and Hall counties.
