Loganville Highway widen to a four-lane highway by 2011

(AP) -- The Georgia Department of Transportation has begun a $10.9 million project using federal stimulus funds that's designed to make travel a little easier on a stretch of road in Gwinnett County. 

The DOT says it began work Monday to widen a 2.7-mile portion of State Route 20, known as the Loganville Highway.

DOT officials say the project will widen the two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided highway. 

It's expected to be completed by the end of 2011.  DOT project engineer Randall Davis says the first part of the project will not require lane closures.
