Project Description

Peachtree City’s Highway 54 Corridor Study makes traffic improvement recommendations; Fayette County’s 2010 Transportation Plan and Transportation Committee advises on traffic improvements, and the Georgia Department of Transportation maintains long-range plans for the State Highways. Matching funds can be leveraged against outside dollars to implement recommended road projects for improved traffic flow in the corridors of HWY 54 and HWY 74.

NOTE: Should no opportunities arise for use of matching funds, these funds will revert to roads projects already identified in Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects list.
