GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — There is a major traffic shift today in a spot that thousands of you drive through every day.
Channel 2's Steve Gehlbach was at the intersection of Highway 78 and 124 in Gwinnett County early Wednesday morning as crews wrapped up their work.
The new configuration opens for the first time this morning.
It’s designed to increase the number of cars that can move through the intersection. It makes the drive more efficient and should save drivers time, especially at peak times like the morning rush hour when cars used to get backed up in long lines to turn left.

“It just works. It's going to reduce the delay when you are sitting at those lights and it's going to divert traffic over,” said Georgia Department of Transportation spokesperson Katie Strickland.
Snellville police have a warning for drivers: Have a little patience and pay attention, especially this first morning.
“I think a lot of people are going to be a little surprised so I want them to put their phones down and focus on the changes, so we don't have any accidents,” said Snellville Police officer Jeff Manley.
