State DOT officials confirmed plans for the bid opening Monday.
The project also calls for the reconstruction and relocation of Friendship and Thompson Mills roads from near I-985 to Georgia Highway 211.
They said at a public hearing on the project last November that once work begins it should take about 3-and-a-half years to complete the project.
In April, a contract was awarded for the widening of Friendship Road from I-985 west to McEver Road. The contract was awarded C.W. Matthews Contracting for $11.6 million. Construction on that project should begin later this summer, and the scheduled completion date is November 30, 2014.
