The Georgia Department of Transportation has awarded a $3.3 million contract to resurface just under eight miles of U.S. 27 in Floyd and Chattooga counties.

Several multi-million projects in nearby counties also got green lights in the latest round of awards, announced late last week.

C.W. Matthews Contracting Co. was the low bidder at $3,380,346.93 to mill, patch and repave 7.66 miles of U.S. 27 from New Rosedale Road in Floyd County to Gore Subligna Road in Chattooga County.

The company is cleared to start when it’s ready; the completion date is set for Aug. 21, 2021.
