GDOT Awards More than $13 Million in Contracts to Projects in NWGA
CARTERSVILLE, GA - Three projects will be getting underway in the coming months after the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) awarded contracts totaling approximately $13.25 million to replace a bridge and resurface two roadways, including I-24. The I-24 project was awarded the largest contract for a resurfacing project across the state at $6.51 million. Talley Construction Company, Inc. will resurface the entirety of I-24 in Georgia, about 4.1 miles as it stretches from the Tennessee state line through Georgia and back to the Tennessee state line. The project is slated to be completed by Oct. 31, 2025.
In Floyd County, C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., Inc. was awarded a contract to resurface SR 156 from just east of SR 1 all the way to the Gordon county line. The $2.59 million project is also expected to be finished at the end of October. In Paulding County crews will replace the Morningside Drive bridge over Mill Creek. The $4.16 million contract was awarded to Williams Contracting Company, LLC with a planned completion date of March 2027.
The projects are just a few of the dozens of construction and maintenance projects underway in Northwest Georgia. With warmer temperatures coming in a few months, motorists can expect to continue to see GDOT crews on the road working on construction projects, safety initiatives, resurfacing projects, and more this spring.
"We look forward to these projects getting started soon," said GDOT District Six Engineer Grant Waldrop. "We ask that motorists slow down and move over if possible when you see our crews working in the road or on the shoulders."
