Three million dollars’ worth of SPLOST-funded transportation projects will get underway following actions yesteray by the Board of Commissioners to approve three improved intersections, two new sidewalks and a school safety project. The 2001 and 2005 SPLOST sales tax programs raised funds for the projects.Blount Construction Inc., was the lowest of 13 bidders at almost $709,850 to make intersection improvements at US 78 and Rosebud Road. There will be left and right turn lanes on both Rosebud Road approaches to the intersection.
GS Construction Company was the lowest of 13 bidders at $1.17 million for improvements at New Hope Road at Chandler Road where they will improve alignment and add turn lanes and a traffic signal. A school safety project in the contract with GS Construction Company will add turn lanes, flashers and sidewalks on Hurricane Shoals Road for an additional $555,000.
Strickland and Sons Pipeline Inc., the lowest of 13 bidders, will rebuild the intersection of Hurricane Shoals Road at Dacula Road with turn lanes, alignment improvements and a traffic signal for just over $523,000.
The Dickerson Group will build sidewalks on Davis Circle from Old Norcross Road to Satellite Boulevard and on Holcomb Bridge Road from Peachtree Corners Circle to Station Mill Drive. The contract also includes a short section on West Liddell Road for a total of $591,552, the lowest of 12 bids received.
