G-DOT Crews to Continue SR59 Resurfacing Today

G-DOT crews will also be continuing their resurfacing work on SR59 in Franklin County today.

A pilot car will be guiding motorists through the work zone.  Work will be taking place Monday-Friday from 8:30a to 4p.  Pope said the work plan will complete Phase 2 of the resurfacing project.

Phase one was the widening for additional 2 feet wide shoulders on each side of the roadway.  Phase two is removing badly damaged sections of asphalt and replacing them with patches of new base and binder.

G-DOT officials say the resurfacing will make the heavily traveled state route safer for motorists.
