GA 141 Widening Contract Awarded

According to an article in the September 17, 2006, issue of the Forsyth County News, the Georgia DOT (GDOT) has awarded the contract to widen GA 141 from just north of the newly-created City of Johns Creek to its end at GA 9 near Cumming. Total length is 6.51 miles (10.42 km).

C.W. Matthews and APAC-Southeast were the 2 bidders for the GA 141 contract, and Matthews won with the lowest bid of $50,684,808.76. Incidentally, Matthews is the same construction company working on the I-85/GA 316 interchange reconstruction project.

Currently, the 4-lane portion of GA 141 ends just a 1/4 mile or so after you cross McGinnis Ferry Road into Forsyth County, and according to GDOT, work could begin "around the first of the year". The construction will also include a new bridge over US 19/GA 400. All the GA 141 widening should be completed by July 31, 2009.

Finally, here are some special "shout-outs" to the following folks...

Thanks to fellow ham radio operator Hutch DeLoach (who I talk to quite often during my commute home)... for his kind words on my "ROADGEEK-CAM!!!". He has a nice website featuring his own blog and his own film production company. Please click here to see it.

Kudos to Alex Nitzman, Andy Field, and all the AARoads gang for their latest site addition called "On The Road", a road enthusiast blogsite featuring blogs from Alex, Andy, Justin, and the rest of their crew. Please click here to see it.

That's all for now. Thanks for visiting and please come back again.
