South Peactree 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.

  1. What does this mean?
    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.
