The Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) is placing project information for review and feedback onto an internet platform to allow citizens to review and comment on the proposed project. We appreciate your participation in this process.
Georgia DOT has publish information at www.dot.ga.gov/AboutGDOT/PublicOutreach related to the proposed roundabout at State Route (SR) 81 and County Road (CR) 29/Ozora Church Road
This project proposes to replace the existing un-signalized intersection at SR 81 and CR 29/Ozora Church Road with a three-legged, hybrid roundabout. There would be no detour required for construction of this project, and construction would take approximately 24 months to complete.
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.
