The second-largest project, estimated at $4.3 million, includes 0.256-mile of bridge construction and approaches on City Street (CS) 1472/Waters Road over Long Indian Creek in Fulton County. These two projects combined with four additional construction projects within this letting cycle are valued at $23.1 million and account for approximately 81 percent of the total funds awarded.
A resurfacing project valued at $4.7 million accounts for approximately 17 percent of the total funds awarded. This project includes 5.539 miles of milling, inlay and plant mix resurfacing on SR 9, beginning at SR 9 (Peachtree Street) and extending north of Paces Ferry Road in Fulton County.
