ATLANTA (August 22, 2018) | The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) recently announced that a project contract to renovate several bridges along I-16 in Bleckley and Laurens Counties has been awarded. The project, worth $1.59 million, has an estimated completion date of January 31, 2020.

I am thankful for all the elected officials on the state and local level who worked hard to make this happen and look forward to the completion of this project and others in the future.”
