City of Duluth, Georgia

Ribbon Cutting for Duluth’s Roundabout and McClure Bridge Road Project

Duluth, Georgia (June 8, 2012) – Please join us on Thursday, June 14th at 9:30 am on the lawn of Glancy Rehabilitation Center for a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the SPLOST funded Roundabout and McClure Bridge Road project.

Implementing the recommendations from the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) study about 10 years ago, the City of Duluth has completed a series of roadway improvements centering on a new roundabout.

With the goal of providing more connectivity around the Downtown Duluth area and providing more options for distributing traffic, the City improved the roadways, drainage and sidewalks in an important section of town encompassing McClure Bridge Road, West Lawrenceville Street, Irvindale Road as well as the future road known as the Hospital Connector. Since all of these projects converge at one key location near the Glancy Rehabilitation Center, a roundabout was constructed.

McClure Bridge Road from Pleasant Hill Road to Glancy Rehabilitation Center has been fully rebuilt including a new roadway, curb and gutter and sidewalks on both sides of the street.

In the center of the roundabout, Duluth is in the planning stages for a unique community gateway artwork with landscaping.

Specific questions about Duluth’s roundabout may be directed to the Planning Department by calling 678-957-7284 or emailing mmuscato@duluthga.net.
