GDOT NEWS RELEASE:
“The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) recently selected the Design-Builder for the Barrow County State Route (SR) 316 Bundle 3 Design-Build project, which includes SR 316 at Kilcrease Road (P.I. 0013902) and SR 316 at Carl-Bethlehem Road (P.I. No. 0013903). To accelerate delivery, these projects were bundled together in one $73 million contract awarded to the team of C.W. Matthews Contracting Company, Inc./Michael Baker International, Inc.
The two interchange projects are part of the larger Georgia DOT SR 316 Reconstruction Projects’ series along SR 316 corridor from SR 20 in Gwinnett County to SR 10 in Oconee County that are proposed to reduce potential crash frequency and severity and improve operations and mobility along the corridor.
“We’re thrilled to see the next phase of this project progress, paving the way for safer, smoother commutes along this corridor,” Georgia DOT P3 Project Manager, Brittney Bozzi said.
The SR 316 Bundle 3 Design-Build project will upgrade the existing at-grade intersections at SR 316 and Kilcrease Road to a grade-separated interchange and the Carl-Bethlehem Road interchange to a grade separation/overpass bridge. Other proposed safety improvements for enhanced access management include rerouting Duncan Lane, Omer Church Road, Chancey Circle, and Parkway Point Boulevard.
Georgia DOT anticipates construction to start in spring 2026 and substantial completion in 2028. The schedule is subject to change.
