FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The Georgia Department of Transportation has awarded $118 million for road work projects around the state, and many of the big planned improvements will be in metro Atlanta.

Around $36 million will go toward three road resurfacing projects - the largest of which is Muscogee County on SR 22/540.
The transit agency has already awarded $16 million to three bridge projects, including the construction of a 0.3-mile bridge over the Hudson River in Franklin and Madison counties.
Fulton and Gwinnett counties will receive part of a $3.7 million awarded to enhance intersections on Holcomb Bridge Road and Spalding Drive.
In total, GDOT estimates it has spent $1.08 billion in Fiscal Year 2024, which started on July 1, 2023.
