The state of Georgia is growing at an immense rate via new residents and companies and with such an influx, the state’s highway infrastructure is experiencing
a massive investment. Last year alone, more than $1.8 billion was spent on constructing new roads and bridges and upgrading and rehabilitating existing infrastructure, much of which is administered by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). But allocating money to build new highways is insufficient. For the work to be completed, a large number of contractors, subcontractors, technical and engineering consultants and material suppliers are required to ensure that projects can be delivered from the concept stage to actual construction crews on the ground. Hence the importance of the Georgia Highway Contractors Association (GHCA), a trade see GHCA page 6
According to the Georgia Highway Contractors Association, the Peach State plans to spend just as much money as it did in the previous year to upgrade aging infrastructure throughout the state.
