It's about time this project got underway. The growth in that area of Richmond Hill has been crazy...

Quote:
The Georgia Department of Transportation, which originally said bids for the project would be sought this spring, removed the project from its Statewide Transportation Improvement Program last August. It appeared at the time that environmental impact studies GDOT had performed had expired and had to be redone.

Local elected officials worked with area state legislators to get the project back on track for this year. GDOT had originally planned to delay it until 2025.

“This collaboration is a prime example of the county and the city working together,” Richmond Hill Mayor Russ Carpenter said. “People think we’re so much at odds, but that’s just not the case. If we hadn’t worked together on this, it wouldn’t be happening. The 144 widening is something we’ve all been working on for 10 years now, and we’re finally going to see it come to fruition. To say it is good news is an understatement.”

The project, which will widen Highway 144 from Timber Trail to Belfast River Road, will cost $26 million and take about 2.5 years to complete.
