PROCEED WITH CAUTION – Many have probably noticed the workmen in yellow hats and safety vests, big machinery and dump trucks full of steaming asphalt at work on Ga Hwy. 15. According to GDOT officials, the resurfacing includes 8.34 miles of highway stretching from Hwy 280 in town to connect to Hwy 1 at John's Country Junction. McLendon Enterprises of Vidalia is in charge of what GDOT describes as mill and inlay resurfacing, a process in which the old road is milled out and new, hot asphalt is inlaid back into the roadbed. The project will also install Americans with Disabilities Act certified wheelchair ramps where necessary. At a cost of a little over $2 million, the project should be completed by mid June or the first of July and GDOT's goal is to limit the interruptions to normal everyday traffic patterns.
