The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has announced a traffic shift for the project located along State Route 85/US 27 Alt in Muscogee County, Georgia. The project involves replacing the northbound and southbound bridges over County Road 1660/Miller Road. The construction will feature a roadway design with two 12-foot lanes, a 10-foot paved area inside the existing bridge locations, and a 12-foot paved shoulder on the outside in each direction. These new bridges will be offset to the west from the existing bridge locations, and the total project spans approximately half a mile.

Motorists driving through this area should anticipate potential delays, and GDOT advises reducing speed and exercising caution throughout the work zones. It is recommended that drivers seek real-time updates on work status and traffic conditions through various resources such as calling 511, visiting 511ga.org, or by downloading the Georgia 511 app.

The Georgia Department of Transportation is actively engaged in planning, constructing, and maintaining the state and federal highways of Georgia. Alongside road infrastructure, the department is involved in bridge, waterway, public transit, rail, general aviation, and bike and pedestrian programs. They also support local governments with road maintenance. GDOT, with approximately 4,000 employees, emphasizes delivering a transportation system that prioritizes innovation, safety, sustainability, and mobility. The department's vision aims to enhance Georgia's competitiveness through transportation leadership.
