Greene and Putnam Counties

Project Number CSSTP-0006-00(253)

In keeping with Governor Brian Kemp’s directive to keep state government agencies functioning as Georgia combats the COVID-19 pandemic, Georgia DOT is moving forward by placing project information for review and feedback into an internet platform to comply with social distancing and avoiding crowds of 10+ people.  We appreciate your participation in this process.   

The Georgia Department of Transportation has posted information at http://www.dot.ga.gov/AboutGDOT/PublicOutreach related to the proposed State Route (SR) 44 widening.

This project proposes to improve access and operations along the State Route 44 corridor between Old Phoenix Road/Harmony Road in Putnam County and Athens Tech Drive/(Proposed) East Greensboro Bypass, just north of I-20 in Greene County. The project would also include the widening of SR 44 from the existing two-lane road to a four-lane road with a combination of both rural and urban sections.

The purpose of this internet posting is to replace an in-person meeting, while allowing the public to review the proposed project, provide feedback, or write in with questions.
