New Fort Gordon gate will accommodate growth, widen Gordon Highway (Washington: construction, transportation)

[Airforceguy]

The future entrance – designed to alleviate congestion on Gordon Highway and its connectors – will not only serve as the post’s primary gateway, but will be the main artery to the National Security Administration-Army Cyber Command complex on the installation’s west end.

The multiphase project is split into two segments: construction inside the post’s boundaries – work that is dependent on federal funding currently in flux – and Georgia Department of Transportation-administered improvements along Gordon Highway, also known as U.S. Highway 78.

Fort Gordon officials declined to comment on the gate until its construction budget is finalized, which won’t occur until Feb. 8 at the earliest, when the “continuing resolution” temporarily funding federal operations expires.

State officials, however, say bids on their portion of the project, which includes widening 2 1/2 miles of Gordon Highway to four lanes, will go out in March. Construction could commence 60 to 90 days later.

I hope that the same company that is doing that widening on Washington rd is not the winner as lord knows when it will actually be completed if they win.
