Another 22 road projects are set to go for construction next month. The state DOT says the new round of work represents more than $56-million certified from the federal stimulus. The work includes resurfacing 20 miles of road on Interstate 575 in Cobb and Cherokee counties. It also includes bridge replacements in Tattnall, Gordon-Murray, Bulloch, Candler and Atkinson counties, along with safety work to be done in other counties.

The department says that so far 63 highway system stimulus projects valued at $119 million have been awarded. It says another 43 worth an estimated $250 million will be awarded within a few weeks.
