City Transportation Projects & Road Closures

South Peachtree Street Closing Permanently on Monday, May 6

The existing rail crossing at South Peachtree Street (at the end of Hardy Street) will close permanently on Monday, May 6. Four crews will be on-site for a couple of days while they switch from the South Peachtree crossing to the Davenport crossing.

What does this mean?
  1. Norfolk Southern gave the city permission to pave the remaining gaps in the road on Monday, May 6 (the same day they are on site), and there is about two weeks’ worth of road work left to complete after the paving is done. There will be a period of time when BOTH crossings are closed. We hope to minimize this disruption and we hope the weather cooperates. You will need to reroute to the SR 120 RR Xing or the Brock Road RR Crossing to get to/from Buford Highway. Gwinnett County is aware and will adjust the signal timings in downtown as needed.
  2. Police and Fire have been alerted to this closure in case an emergency vehicle needs to reach you.
  3. Trash pickup has been alerted to the closure and will reroute their vehicles starting on Monday, May 6.
  4. School buses have been alerted in the event they need to reroute.

Please use caution in the area as these changes are completed.

Road work


Road Work on Buford HWY near Public Safety Building 

For those of you who drive Buford Highway regularly, you may have noticed that construction for the new intersection with the Davenport Road Extension has begun. As part of this work, the raised median is being extended from South Peachtree Road south to Davenport Road. Now that this is underway, left turns to and from South Peachtree are prohibited. Left turns from southbound Buford Highway onto Davenport Road are still permitted. Please continue to exercise caution and patience as construction continues.

Questions regarding the Davenport project can be directed to mpozin@duluthga.net.
