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.

Analysis Of Nov. 3 Election Shows Oconee County Republicans Navigated A Blue Undercurrent In State And U.S. Legislative Races

***Candidates In Four Races Beat Back Democratic Gains***. At first glance, it seems the blue wave that swept across the state and country on Tuesday bypassed Oconee County. The Democrats had not put up candidates in four local races, so Republican County Commissioners Amrey Harden and Chuck Horton, Board of Education Member Ryan Hammock, and Board of Education candidate Kate Patterson swept into office with 100 percent of the counted vote in each case.

A New Chapter for the East Side: Athens welcomes new library off Barnett Shoals Rd.

In the past, those who live on the East side of Athens have not had a convenient library space outside of schools. While avid readers could travel to visit the library in Winterville or on Baxter Street, neither location was easily accessible or within walking distance for East side residents. However, that is about to change. In fall 2027, the Eastside Athens Library will finish construction on 1030 Barnett Shoals Road, backing the North Oconee River Greenway and just down the road from B&B Theaters.
