On time and on budget.
CARTERSVILLE, Ga. – Work could begin soon on resurfacing State Route (SR) 61 in Bartow County. Georgia DOT has just awarded a contract to Bartow Paving Company, Inc. of Cartersville, Georgia, valued at little over a million dollars for a construction project to resurface a 4-mile portion of the highway. The project includes 4.210 miles of milling and plant mix resurfacing on SR 61, beginning north Plymouth Road and extending to north of West Avenue and from the Paulding County line to just south of SR 113 in Bartow County.
“This project and others like it in northwest Georgia add up to these two things- better mobility and a better quality of life for all the area’s residents,” said Dewayne Comer, district engineer at the Georgia DOT office in Cartersville.
This resurfacing project is scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2019, at a construction cost of $1,122,787. Information on construction and lane closure schedules on this project will be forthcoming before work begins.
