Last checked Nov. 7, 2026. This page is refreshed weekly. Project details come from the City of Lawrenceville Construction Updates & Road Closures page, Gwinnett County DOT and Georgia 511. On Saturday morning, Nov. 7, Georgia 511’s construction list showed only daytime lane closures from Friday, Nov. 6, in Gwinnett County, all of them ended. The Georgia Department of Transportation’s own lane closure pages could not be reached, so state highway closures could not be fully rechecked; check 511 before a trip. City Hall: 770-963-2414.

- Collins Industrial Way safety project: new curbs, sidewalks, raised crosswalks with flashing beacons, and a raised intersection at University Center Lane, between Collins Hill Road and Lonnie Harvel Boulevard.

- Gwinnett Drive widening: curb, sidewalk, lighting and paving between Lawrenceville Highway and Nash Street. The city’s June 12 alert said nighttime lane closures, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on business days, would start June 21 and last about 16 weeks, with no full road closures. The project page still lists it as pre-construction, and the city has not posted an end date, so we could not confirm whether those closures have finished.
- Lawrenceville Gateway Trail trailhead: a 23-space lot and trail link at 235 Collins Industrial Way, near Georgia Gwinnett College. Pre-construction; fall 2026 target.
- Crogan Street at Perry Street raised intersection: February 2027 to June 2027.

County and state projects
Sugarloaf Parkway Extension, Phase II. Gwinnett County and the Georgia Department of Transportation propose about 7 miles of new limited-access road from Ga. 20 (Buford Drive) to Ga. 316 (University Parkway), with interchanges at I-85, Ga. 124 (Braselton Highway), Fence Road and Ga. 316, according to the county’s project page. The county says it would ease commuter traffic between the Buford and Suwanee area and the Ga. 316 corridor. Updates are on the project website.
Old Norcross Road intersections. Gwinnett DOT lists intermittent lane closures for intersection improvements on Old Norcross Road at Riverside Parkway, at Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and at Monfort Road, running to January 2027, on its road closures table. The county says intermittent lane closures run 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. unless noted. Questions go to Gwinnett DOT at 770-822-7400.
The county’s table, checked Nov. 7, still lists some Lawrenceville entries with dates that have passed: Collins Industrial Way at University Center Lane (closure through July 31), Collins Industrial Way lane closures (through September), New Hope Road from Ezzard Street to Cedar Ridge Trail (through August) and Hurricane Shoals Road near Dyer Elementary School (through August). Neither the county nor the city has posted new dates for them, so we do not list them as live.
Recently ended: the city’s posted closure of Culver Street between West Pike Street and East Crogan Street, for construction of its Pink Parking Lot, ran from Oct. 30 through Thursday, Nov. 5, under its Alert Center notice of Oct. 30. The city expects the lot to be finished by Nov. 15. On Saturday, Nov. 7, the notice was still posted with the same dates and the city had posted no extension or reopening notice, so we could not confirm the street has reopened. If it is still coned off, follow the posted detour or call City Hall at 770-963-2414.
Recently finished: the county widened Collins Hill Road from University Center Lane to the Lendon Connector, with a center turn lane and a 12-foot multi-use path; the city lists it among completed projects.
Trucks downtown
Decorative steel archways in the Depot District physically stop trucks 12 feet tall or taller from passing through downtown, and large trucks are detoured around it, the city says. Drivers of tall trucks should follow the posted detour.
Parking during construction
The 380-space Luckie Street Parking Deck, with entrances at 225 Luckie St. and on South Chestnut Street, is the main public deck downtown. More lots are listed at lville.city/parking. See also getting around Lawrenceville.
