MOULTRIE, Ga. â Like a kid waiting for Santa at Christmas, Colquitt Countians may have thought a four-lane highway to Albany would never get here.
But a press release from the Georgia Department of Transportation on Tuesday gives us reason to keep believing.
The GDOT awarded 15 construction contracts across the state in November, the press release announced. The largest one was the first of five widening projects on Highway 133 North.
In all, the transportation projects awarded last month totaled $103,744,588, the GDOT said. Of that, approximately $62.7 million was awarded to Reames and Son Construction, Inc., of Valdosta to widen and reconstruct 8.55 miles on State Route 133 from U.S. Highway 319 (State Route 35) to north of Mike Horne Road in Colquitt County.Â
