When it comes to Ga. 347/Lanier Islands Parkway, there’s the much-anticipated widening of that ultra-busy road and then there are the extra touches. Last week, the Georgia Department of Transportation awarded a $11.6 million contract for the road’s widening between McEver Road and Interstate 985. The 1.7-mile section of Ga. 347 will become a four-lane divided highway, with sidewalks, but the state’s fixes basically end there.
