The first leg of the Cleveland Bypass is nine months behind schedule, with some grading still yet to be done and the contractor racking up daily fines, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. The DOT “is disappointed with the lack of progress by (Tucker-based contractor) Sunbelt Structures on this project,” district spokeswoman Teri Pope said. Work began on the $15.1 million project in August 2012, with a completion date of July 31, 2014.
