Highway 316 will be a construction site in Gwinnett for five more years

Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry had a simple suggestion this week for drivers who use State Route 316 to go to Athens: find a different route for the next few years. GDOT has been gradually turning 316 into a limited access highway for more than a decade, but those efforts are kicking into overdrive now with projects stretching from Lawrenceville to Athens either already under construction or about to get underway in the next few years. The highway is expected to be a construction site in Gwinnett for at least five more years. “Alright so we recommend you go up (Interstate) 85 and take (U.S. Highway) 129 because there’s a little bit of construction going on,” McMurry said during a recent presentation to the Gwinnett Chamber. Chamber members may have laughed at McMurry’s advice, but it may actually be a good to head up 85 to Jefferson and then come south to Athens because 316 will be a big construction zone, at least in Gwinnett, through the beginning of the next decade. Currently, 316 is a limited access highway from Interstate 85 to Buford Drive, as well as at Harbins Road and the eastern terminus of Sugarloaf Parkway.

Gwinnett Sheriff's Office hands out Thanksgiving dinners

Thanksgiving is still two weeks away but Gwinnett families lined up at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville last Friday to go ahead and make sure they had their Turkey Day meals lined up already. The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Sheriff Keybo Taylor’s Keybo Building Bridges and Volunteer Gwinnett to stage the sixth annual Thanksgiving Food Giveaway last week. The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26. Families who came to the event, which operated on a first come, first served basis, got a frozen turkey as well as sides such as stuffing and vegetables. “Thank you, Gwinnett, GCSO and all our partners who made the Turkey Drive a success,” Taylor said in a statement on social media over the weekend. “We are a blessed community because of you.”
