GDOT To Resurface U.S. 41 In Cartersville

CARTERSVILLE, GA — Work will soon begin on a project to resurface a portion of Joe Frank Harris Parkway in Cartersville. The Georgia Department of Transportation has awarded a $1.7 million contract to Northwest Georgia Paving, Inc. to perform the work on U.S. 41/Ga. 3.

The highway will be resurfaced from the city limits of Cartersville north to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, a 1.7-mile stretch of roadway.

“This project and others like it in Northwest Georgia add up to these two things – better mobility and better quality of life for all our area residents,” said Grant Waldrop, district engineer at the Georgia DOT office in Cartersville.

GDOT notes the resurfacing project is expected to be completed by the end of July 2019. Information on construction and lane closure schedules on this project will be forthcoming before work begins.

This latest announcement follows Georgia DOT's recent award of a $3.2 million contract to C.W. Matthews Contracting Company to resurface U.S. 41/Ga. 3 between Kingston Highway near Cartersville and Piedmont Avenue in Adairsville. That project should also wrap up by the end of July 2019, GDOT notes.
