Gwinnett has started construction on an infrastructure project that

will provide water, sewer, and trails for 8,500 acres of land in eastern Gwinnett.

 

The Eastern Regional Infrastructure Project includes approximately five miles

of new public trails, two trailheads, upgraded and expanded water service, and

expanded sewer service. The $125 million project will be funded by the

departments of Water Resources and Community Services, including revenue

from the 2017 SPLOST program, which will fund the trails component of the project.

 

The trail system will provide access to trails heading to Barrow County and

beyond to the east. With its planned connectivity to the future Piedmont Pathway

to the southwest, users will be able to access trail systems

across the metro Atlanta region, some of which extend all the way into Alabama.
