SR 140 from SR 5 BU to n of CS 662/mary lane in canton, row

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Division of Intermodal a Formula Grant of $2.73 million on July 11, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award supports right-of-way (ROW) acquisition and related project development activities for State Route 140 extending from State Route 5 Business to north of County Road 662/Mary Lane in Canton, Georgia. As a formula grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program, funds are allocated to Georgia based on statutory formulas established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and distributed by GDOT based on state transportation priorities.

The project represents a typical Highway Planning and Construction initiative focused on highway improvement and preservation infrastructure. GDOT, as the State DOT administering this federally assisted program, assumes responsibility for project oversight, design, and construction in accordance with applicable stewardship and oversight agreements with FHWA. The award reflects GDOT's broader role in managing over 200 formula and project grants totaling hundreds of millions in federal highway funding, which collectively support comprehensive multimodal transportation infrastructure development across Georgia's state highway network.
