Staff Reports
ATLANTA — Republican state Sen. Greg Kirk sent out a news release this week announcing that Crisp County was awarded more than $2.1 million from the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The multimillion-dollar grant is part of the more than $150 million awarded to projects statewide.
“As always, I am very thankful for GDOT’s contract awards throughout the state of Georgia,” Kirk said. “The safety of drivers and passengers is crucial throughout our communities. The award granted to Crisp County is just one of the many projects that I look forward to seeing completed as we continue to improve transportation means across the state.”
The $2.1 million award will be put to use for resurfacing and maintenance of more than 5.6 miles on Georgia Highway 300 from south of Old Coney Road. The expected completion day of the project is Sept. 30 of next year.
GDOT encourages drivers to seek real-time information on active construction, traffic incidents and more by calling 511 or visiting 511ga.org before heading out on Georgia roads.
