Sen. Brian Strickland Commends State Funding for New Lanes on Interstate 75 in Henry County

ATLANTA (July 19, 2024) — Today, Sen. Brian Strickland (R–McDonough) issued a statement commending Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for their leadership and commitment to increasing the ease of transportation in Henry County:

“I am happy to announce that the Georgia Department of Transportation has allocated $10 million in funding to begin the process of adding two new lanes to our express lanes in Henry County. This funding will initiate the engineering work required for this project, ultimately leading to the end of the reversible express lanes and providing access for travel in two lanes, in both directions, at all times. These funds are part of the historic investment Gov. Kemp and the Legislature included in the state budget this year for infrastructure projects in our state. Everyone who travels through Henry County knows the challenges of Interstate 75. I commend the governor and the Georgia Department of Transportation for listening to the concerns we have expressed and making this investment in state funds to this region.”

In addition to the $10 million funding for Henry County, the $1.5 billion surplus allocated to improve state infrastructure will fund projects such as airport aid, local roads funding, capital maintenance, a new freight program to improve freight infrastructure efficiency, and capital construction.
