The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has initiated a new infrastructure project in Union County, granting a Notice To Proceed (NTP) to AIS Infrastructure, LLC. The project focuses on the widening and reconstruction of over four miles of US 76/SR 515/SR 2, stretching from west of SR 11 to east of Earl Shelton Road. A notable aspect of this endeavor is the Trout Stream Restoration along US 76, which aims at environmental preservation.

The budget allocated for this infrastructure improvement stands at $110,976,976.00, with completion expected by Fall 2027. However, construction timelines may vary due to weather conditions and material availability. GDOT and AIS Infrastructure are dedicated to minimizing disruptions while enhancing roadway safety and efficiency.

For ongoing updates about this project, GDOT encourages following GDOTNE on social media for current construction alerts.
