Reconstruction of the intersections is not anticipated to be included in the project (the “Project”).
The Project Synopsis is located on Georgia DOT’s DB SharePoint site, at: https://mydocs.dot.ga.gov/info/designbuild/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/ in the following folder: 0019253 - US 278 Grade Separation over CSX Railroad Project.

Guide to Construction Deliverables Based on the Chief Engineer’s 3D Modeling Guide Document and Deliverable Requirements Memo
(August 1st 2025), additional, for information only, 3D deliverables will be provided at final plans for all projects developed in non-legacy software which include earthwork/grading operations (typically reflected in plans Section 23 or Section 18) beginning with the March 2026 letting. No changes have been made to files provided during bidding for projects designed in legacy software (i.e. CAiCE, InROADS). Below is a breakdown of the files being provided:
.DXFs
.DXF files will include 3D Polyline data pulled from the Designer’s 3D Model used for plans development.
The .dxf files that will be included going forward will be as follows:
• PI#AMG_Alignment.DXF o Export of the design alignments as 2D elements.
• PI#AMG_Final Finish Grade-3D.DXF o Export of the final, triangulated 3D Design Surface including contours and surface triangles.
• PI#AMG_Corridor Breaklines-3D.DXF o Export of the Final 3D Design Surface Breaklines.
• PI#AMG_Pavmt Surface-3D.DXF o Export of the 3D Polylines from the Final 3D Design Surface. This includes the following elements:
MAIN_P_CROWN-Line
MAIN_P_Curb-Gutter-Back-Top-Line
MAIN_P_EOP-Line
MAIN_P_EPSHLDR-Line
MAIN_P_SHLDR-Line
MAIN_P_SHLDR-Hinge-Pnt-Alg
DRNG_P_Ditch-and-Channel-Line
DRNG_P_Ditch-Line
LIMT_P_LOC *CORD*
The following page shows an urban and rural typical section defining the locations of these exported 3D Polylines:
N-17
N-18
.XMLs
.XML files will still be provided for existing and final finish grade surfaces. Additionally, alignments used to develop the plans will be exported in the .xml format. This deliverable will take the place of the previously provided .txt and .html alignment reports.
.DGNs
.DGN files used by the designer to build the plans and 3D model will be provided to the contractor.
Below is a breakdown of the DGNs files that the designer will provide with a description of the files

In July 2015, Governor Deal signed into law the Transportation Funding Act (TFA) – dedicated transportation funding approved by the legislature to advance transportation and help make Georgia the #1 state for business investment. This much-needed funding – an estimated $830 million to $1 billion in annual revenues offers Georgia DOT the opportunity to address critical infrastructure needs in routine and capital maintenance.
One way the Department is using TFA funds is to address Maintenance & Operational Needs. Georgia DOT has prioritized the backlog of transportation needs for this additional funding; A primary focus areas include maintenance and operations. For example: Increased routine maintenance (pothole repair, grass mowing, litter pick-up, striping, guardrail repair and other preventative maintenance.)
To meet the needs of the Department and the procurement laws of Georgia, the GDOT State Maintenance Office and the Office of Procurement partnered to create a pre-qualification process for Routine Maintenance Services Program and a streamlined bidding process for specific service categories, listed below:
• Fencing, Barricades and Handrail Maintenance
• Herbicide Application
• Highway Mowing and Maintenance (Mowing Services)
• Landscaping Maintenance
• Pavement Marking – Shortline Pavement Striping
• Pavement Preservation
• Concrete and Portland Cement Concrete (PCC)…
