State plans $1.5 billion transportation infrastructure investment

ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Transportation has provided details on forthcoming transportation programs and projects receiving funding as a result of a $1.5 billion investment from Gov. Brian Kemp’s amended FY '24 budget recommendation, recently approved by the Georgia General Assembly.

Georgia continues to benefit from unprecedented economic growth paired with conservative state fiscal management. Increases in population and commercial activity are putting more traffic on the state's roadways than ever before. The additional funding will enable GDOT and local governments to invest in the state’s transportation infrastructure, helping keep up with higher construction costs in the face of historic inflation and expediting strategic projects across the state.
