In May 2025, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) awarded nine transportation contracts totaling approximately $28.5 million. The largest contract, valued at $8.6 million, involves constructing a 0.417-mile bridge and its approaches on County Road 145/Slygo Road over I-24/State Route 409 and Pope Creek in Dade County.
The second-largest project is estimated at $4.3 million and includes a 0.256-mile bridge construction with approaches on City Street 1472/Waters Road over Long Indian Creek in Fulton County. Together with four additional construction projects within this letting cycle, these projects are valued at $23.1 million, accounting for about 81 percent of the total funds awarded.
A resurfacing project worth $4.7 million accounts for roughly 17 percent of the total funds awarded. This project covers 5.539 miles of milling, inlay, and plant mix resurfacing on SR 9, starting at SR 9 (Peachtree Street) and extending north of Paces Ferry Road in Fulton County.
The remaining two percent of the funds will complete two safety projects valued at $611,322. One project in Chatham County will improve the southbound turn lane ramp on I-95/SR 405 at SR 26. The other safety project includes installing wrong way driving detection systems on 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 to $2 billion, which began July 1, 2024. This total includes TIA, Design-Bid-Build, and locally administered projects.
Bids for Design-Bid-Build projects were received on May 16, with contracts awarded to the lowest qualified bidders on May 30, 2025.
