The Georgia Department of Transportation awarded approximately $85.7 million in highway construction and resurfacing contracts covering 11 projects across the state.
The State Transportation Board approved the awards at its January meeting. Georgia DOT issued contracts on February 5 and February 9, 2026. The total includes one project deferred from a November 2025 letting that has now moved forward.
Construction projects account for the majority of the funding. The largest contract, valued at about $38.5 million, will widen and reconstruct 1.6 miles of State Route 211. The project will add travel lanes between Pinot Noir Drive and State Route 347 across Barrow, Gwinnett, and Hall counties.
Resurfacing work makes up the remaining $23.9 million. The largest resurfacing contract totals approximately $6.8 million and will rehabilitate nearly 15.8 miles of State Route 2 in Rabun County. The scope includes milling, inlay, asphalt resurfacing, and shoulder rehabilitation between the Towns County line and State Route 15.
Georgia DOT also awarded a previously deferred $25 million interchange reconstruction project in Oconee County. The project will reconstruct the interchange at U.S. 29/State Route 316/State Route 8 at Dials Mill Road and Dials Mill Extension, including a new bridge and roadway approaches over State Route 316.
Georgia DOT awarded all contracts through a design-bid-build procurement process to the lowest qualified bidders.
