SR 6BU/SR 61 @ CS 610/legion road, PE

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $450,000 in formula grant funding to the Georgia Department of Transportation Division of Intermodal on June 18, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award supports preliminary engineering and design services for the State Route 6BU/State Route 61 intersection improvement project at CS 610/Legion Road in Georgia. As a formula grant under the federal-aid highway program, this funding represents Georgia's apportionment of annual highway construction and improvement resources authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

The project will advance transportation infrastructure improvements through planning, design, and engineering activities that precede construction implementation. GDOT, as the state transportation agency responsible for administering federal highway funds in Georgia, will oversee project development in accordance with applicable federal requirements, including environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act and compliance with design and construction standards outlined in 23 CFR and 49 CFR. The preliminary engineering phase funded through this award will establish the foundation for subsequent construction phases and ensure the project meets federal-aid highway program eligibility and safety requirements.
