The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) announced 23 projects in October 2024, which include bridge rehabilitation, resurfacing, safety improvements, and new bridge construction. The largest project is a bridge construction along 1. 003 miles on US 41/SR 11/SR 49 over the Norfolk Southern Railway, costing about $21 million. This project and three others make up 40% of the total funds awarded this month.  Only one of the projects listed in the latest round of funding is in Northwest Georgia.

About $33. 1 million was assigned to 11 resurfacing projects. The biggest involves 9. 537 miles of resurfacing on SR 20, costing around $7. 5 million. The second-largest surfacing project will be $4. 4 million for 4. 628 miles on US 1/SR in Richmond County. These resurfacing efforts make up 43% of the funds awarded.

Bridge rehabilitation received approximately $6. 6 million, or 9% of the total. This funding will support various locations in Douglas, Fulton, and Lamar counties. A $4. 3 million roundabout project in Chattahoochee County accounts for 6% of the funds.

The remaining 2% of funds, about $1. 5 million, will go to four safety improvement projects. The biggest of these focuses on widening turn lanes on SR 101 in Carroll County. The October awards bring the total for Fiscal Year 2024 to $802 million. Floyd County received a $1. 8 million contract for a bridge construction project with a deadline of March 31, 2026.
