The same company that designed and is now constructing Phase 1 of the Interstate 85 widening project in North Georgia will carry on the work for Phase 2 of the project.
The Georgia Department of Transportation announced Monday, May 11 that C.W. Matthews was the successful bidder from among three proposals.
"C.W. Matthews has developed a strong history of working with the Department and we are looking forward to working with them on the delivery of the I-85 Widening, Phase 2 project," said Georgia DOT Design-Build Program Manager Andrew Hoenig.
The I-85 Widening, Phase 2 corridor improvements will provide relief by widening I-85, north of metro Atlanta, from two to three lanes in both directions from SR 53 to just north of US 129. Additional work on the project includes replacing one overpass bridge and six mainline bridges along I-85.
Final design is anticipated to begin late 2020, and construction is anticipated to begin in 2021.
C.W. Matthews is currently working on the I-85 Widening, Phase 1 project, which is on target for completion in mid-2020.
The I-85 Widening Project is one of the state's Major Mobility Investment Program (MMIP) projects.
