In April 2025, the Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) awarded 16 transportations contracts totaling approximately $68.2 million.

The largest award, valued at approximately $24 million, was granted to construct a 0.767-mile bridge and its approaches on Bells Ferry Road (CR 8998) over the Little River in Cherokee County. The second-largest project, estimated at $7 million, involves 0.448 miles of bridge construction and approaches on SR 52 over the Chestatee River in Lumpkin County. These two projects, along with nine other construction contracts, account for approximately 84 percent of the total funds awarded.

One bridge rehabilitation project, totaling over $4.8 million or 7 percent of the overall awards, includes repairs at multiple locations along SR 92 and I-75/SR 401 in Cherokee and Gordon counties.

Approximately 6 percent of the funds around $3.7 million were dedicated to three safety projects. Two of these projects, totaling $1.5 million, include the installation of pedestrian hybrid beacon crossing signals at various locations along US 9/41/SR 3 in Clayton County, and intersection improvements on US 23/SR 42 (Moreland Avenue) at SR 154 and Arkwright Place (CS 2115) in both DeKalb and Fulton counties. The third safety project, valued at $575,000, involves railroad crossing safety enhancements on Rumble Road (CR 31) at NS #718345H in Monroe County, including the relocation of the crossing, installation of warning devices, and upgrades to railroad pavement markings.

The remaining 3 percent of funds went to a resurfacing project on SR 35 in Tift County. This project includes 7.823 miles of milling, plant mix resurfacing, and shoulder rehabilitation, stretching from north of SR 520 to south of the Irwin County line.

The April awards bring the total construction contracts for Fiscal Year 2025, which began July 1, 2024, to $1.8 billion. This total includes TIA, Design-Bid-Build, and locally administered projects.
