Department of Transportation Commissioner Russell McMurry speaks at the annual Transportation Forum.
Work is nearly done on the Friendship Road widening in South Hall County, but that doesn’t mean the orange construction barrels are leaving Hall. Area motorists could start to see work begin later this year on three major projects: Athens Highway widening in East Hall; replacement of the Dawsonville Highway bridge over the Chestatee River arm of Lake Lanier in West Hall; and Atlanta Highway widening between Buford and Lanier Islands Parkway in South Hall. The earliest of those could be the Dawsonville Highway bridge, or Boling Bridge, a $23 million project.
