A wider 67: Rocks will meet the road in 2019

$41 million contract to follow two decades of prep work

Shown is a stretch of Georgia State Route 67 which is scheduled for widening beginning in 2019. The Georgia Department of Transportation has deemed the project a priority, and the stretch of road will be widened to at least four lanes over the entire 10-mile stretch. Four narrower sections will have five lanes but no median.

Clearing of trees from rights of way foreshadows construction, expected to last through 2019 and much of 2020, for the $40 million-plus widening of Georgia State Route 67 from Statesboro’s bypass to Interstate 16.
