In March 2025, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) awarded 11 construction contracts for transportation projects across the state, with a total value of approximately $51.15 million. The largest project involves constructing a bridge and its approaches on I-75/SR 401 over Cedar Creek Road in Bartow County, awarded to CMES, Inc. for around $23 million.
Another significant contract is for a roundabout on SR 9 at Bannister Road, affecting both Dawson and Forsyth counties, valued at $3 million. These two projects, along with another contract, account for about 54% of the total funds awarded.
Resurfacing projects represent nearly $16 million or 40% of the awards. The most extensive resurfacing effort includes nearly six miles on I-75/SR 401 in Fulton County. Another project involves over five miles on SR 14 in Fulton County, costing about $3.37 million.
The remaining funds were allocated to six safety projects, including one involving resurfacing and upgrades on New Buckeye Road in Laurens County.
These March awards contribute to a total of $1.7 billion in construction contracts for Fiscal Year 2025, which began July 1, 2024. This amount includes various types of projects such as TIA and Design-Bid-Build.
A supplemental award was made for a previously deferred project now funded at $3.9 million for resurfacing work on SR 8 in Fulton County.
Contractors interested in bidding must prequalify with Georgia DOT. More information can be found at their website.
