Georgia DOT awards contracts for statewide transportation projects
ATLANTA - In May 2025, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) awarded nine transportation contracts totaling approximately $28.5 million.
The largest award, valued at $8.6 million, will construct a 0.417-mile bridge and its approaches on County Road (CR) 145/Slygo Road over I-24/State Route (SR) 409 and Pope Creek in Dade County. The second-largest project, estimated at $4.3 million, includes 0.256-mile of bridge construction and approaches on City Street (CS) 1472/Waters Road over Long Indian Creek in Fulton County. These two projects combined with four additional construction projects within this letting cycle are valued at $23.1 million and account for approximately 81 percent of the total funds awarded.
A resurfacing project valued at $4.7 million accounts for approximately 17 percent of the total funds awarded. This project includes 5.539 miles of milling, inlay and plant mix resurfacing on SR 9, beginning at SR 9 (Peachtree Street) and extending north of Paces Ferry Road in Fulton County.
The remaining 2 percent of the funds will provide for the completion of two safety projects valued at $611,322. A project located in Chatham County will improve the Southbound turn lane ramp on I-95/ SR 405 at SR 26. The remaining safety project includes installation of wrong way driving detection systems on the managed lanes at various locations on I-75/SR 401 in Cobb and Henry counties.
The May awards bring the total construction contracts for Fiscal Year 2025, which began July 1, 2024, to $2 billion. This total includes TIA, Design-Bid-Build, and locally administered projects.
