Clearing will begin soon for the widening of Ga. 13 from Sawnee Avenue in Gwinnett County to Lanier Islands Parkway/Ga. 347 in Hall County.

The roadway will be updated to a four-lane divided highway with a 20-foot raised median, 4-foot bicycle lane, 5-foot sidewalks and curb and gutter.

Lane closures will be allowed between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday as the contractor, E.R. Snell, begins clearing trees from the right of way, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Provisions were made to avoid conflicts during Buford High School home football games.
