I-16 Westbound Concrete Slab Replacement Project Underway

Identified Interstate 16 (I-16) westbound concrete slabs from Chatham County line to Candler County are receiving upgrades from a Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) maintenance service contract.

Kiewit Infrastructure South Company began this month a select concrete slab replacement project at mile post 94 at the Emanuel/ Candler County line.

The traveling public can expect daily lane closures during full-depth replacement to allow for slab saw cutting, pulling, setting and curing. Traffic will shift around one left or right I-16 lane closure depending on slab locations.

This maintenance contract covers I-16 westbound side only at various locations between mile post 94 Emanuel/Candler County line and mile post 150 Effingham/ Chatham County Line. This $1.8 million contract should be completed Summer of 2017 depending on weather conditions.

This and similar upcoming maintenance service contracts within the 26-county Southeast District come from the Transportation Funding Act (TFA) of 2015. GDOT uses the sustained annual revenue from the TFA to launch much-needed routine maintenance and capital improvements.

Citizens may have already observed contractors preforming vegetation removal; pavement preservation; mowing and litter pickup; shoulder widening; roadway patching, slab repair and guardrail repairs at various district locations.
