Hwy 29 Median Landscape Project Starts This Week

This week crews will begin much-needed improvements aimed at increasing the visual appeal of the greater Lilburn area’s Highway 29 corridor.

The Lilburn Community Improvement District (CID) is coordinating the installation of new landscaping enhancements inside the Highway 29 medians.

In total, eight median areas from Ronald Regan Parkway to the U.S. Post Office will receive new plantings and ground cover.

The Highway 29 medians were added by the Georgia Department of Transportation. The CID worked with state transportation officials to have red brick areas and other upgrades included with the project in anticipation of the coming landscape work.

As Executive Director Gerald McDowell explained, the CID is coordinating its efforts with the City of Lilburn and Gwinnett County as a means of raising the community’s profile and overall attractiveness.

“Fresh landscaping will have a tremendous impact on the entire community by beautifying this gateway corridor into Lilburn,” McDowell said. “We know that business and commercial property owners as well as residents have looked forward to seeing this effort take off. The CID is excited to see the project begin this week.”
