The Georgia Department of Transportation awarded 28 projects worth about $107.2 million during its April State Transportation Board meeting, with contracts awarded May 1 to the lowest qualified bidders.
The awards affect drivers across the state through resurfacing, construction, bridge rehabilitation and safety work. Resurfacing accounted for the bulk of spending, at about $66.5 million, or 62% of the total awarded.
The April awards bring Georgia DOT’s fiscal year 2026 construction contracts to about $2.2 billion. The fiscal year began July 1, 2025, and ends June 30, 2026. The total includes the Transportation Investment Act, Design-Bid-Build and locally administered projects.
The largest resurfacing project is a roughly $6.5 million contract in Gwinnett County. The work calls for 6.25 miles of milling, inlay and plant mix resurfacing on State Route 141, beginning south of Winters Chapel Road and extending to the north end of the bridge over the Chattahoochee River.
The largest construction contract is a roughly $26.8 million project in Troup County. It calls for 1.47 miles of widening and reconstruction on SR 14 Spur, beginning south of SR 109 and extending to U.S. 29/SR 14. That project and three other construction contracts total about $37.1 million, or 34% of the April awards.
Georgia DOT also awarded two bridge rehabilitation contracts totaling about $2.8 million. The largest, valued at about $2 million, covers bridge rehabilitation on I-20/SR 402 over Fairfield Place and Lawton Street in Fulton County.
Two safety contracts totaled about $757,000, or 1% of the month’s awards. The largest safety contract, worth $535,000, calls for signing and pavement marking upgrades on various county roads in Decatur County.
Bids for Design-Bid-Build projects were received on April 17. Previously deferred projects were awarded on May 12 under a supplemental award announcement.
