« Sugarloaf Parkway now open to Martins Chapel »

This morning, as I came down onto Sugarloaf Parkway from New Hope Road headed west toward Grayson Highway, I noticed that the barriers that had been just beyond the eastbound exit onto New Hope were gone.  It appeared that the next phase of the Sugarloaf extension was open!  Sure enough, after I picked up my cleaning (a quick recommendation of Pristine Cleaners on Grayson Highway just south of Sugarloaf - they do great work at a very good price!), I came back down Sugarloaf and found that the parkway is now open all the way to Martins Chapel Road.  Apparently, the ribbon cutting was held yesterday.  Though I am not a civil engineer, it appears that this will be the last extension for a while.  Beyond Martins Chapel, there is still much construction left to be done and no visible roadway as could be seen when Sugarloaf was extended to New Hope last winter.

Good work by Gwinnett County's DOT.  With all the abuse of our tax dollars by the Gwinnett County Commission, local highway infrastructure projects continue to be a bright spot for our community.

Here is a short video of the new piece of road.
